I've never had a pucker. I started by taping the backing to the floor, gave that up in favor of church tables, gave that up in favor the Sharon Schamber method with white 1X4s (except I use pins). I personally would not try to FMQ a sandwiched quilt. That's where I might get a pucker, but what do I know? I haven't been quilting very long. I am going to FMQ some sandwiched casserole carriers, so I'll let you know how it went.
There has to be a way. Are you dropping the feed dogs on your machine? I don't, but I do set the stitch length to 0. Keep trying until you find the way that works for you. Tape is the key, IMO. I'll check back here tomorrow to see how you're doing. Go for it!
