Default Desperately need help with longarm quilting a batik

I'm trying to get the tension right on my longarm for quilting a batik top and backing. The bottom is too loose but when I tighten the top tension it causes ripples in the top and the bottom is still too loose. I'm using King Tut 40 wt,3 ply in the bobbin and top. I adjusted the tension on the bobbin but it didn't seem to make any difference on the rippling. I'm also using a titanium #18 needle. The first pic is the back (I did more stitching with white bobbin so the stitches would show better), the next two are the front with the rippling. This is all done on test fabric.
