Default Trouble with thread tension on back of quilt

I just finished quilting my first quilt. Prior to quilting it I played around with thread tension and found that raising the tension to a 5 (Brother machine) gave the best results on the back of the quilt. It definitely was not smooth and perfect like the front, but it was the best I could get. After washing the quilt the stitches on the back look worse. They got very 'wavy'. Thankfully he stitches on the front look fine! Wondering if this is normal? The quilting is done to mimic a chevron, so it is on the diagonal. I inspected the stitching where my binding is attached on the back, and it looks like it didn't get as wavy. I'm hoping that y'all can give me some suggestions to make my next quilt better! Thanks!
