Oh well, it wasn't meant to be done the first time. Hopefully the second quilting will go well.
I suspect that the problems you have encountered are due to not enough basting... did you use spray basting or pin basting?

If you used spray basting, the layer may not have been completly flat with no bumps, spaces, or puckers in any of the layers
If you used pins, you didnt use enough or didnt pin close enough..
