Smooth, smooth, smooth....and use spray baste. I had puckers and fold overs on the first quilt I quilted on my Brother 450Q, but I managed to unstitch and get them out. The next one, I was VERY careful to check the back and make sure it was as smooth as I could get it.
It's a problem, I agree. Only constant vigilance, I think, can prevent wrinkles and puckers on the back when quilting on a DSM.
