I don't have the ability on my machine to change the foot pressure though
if some of your stitches are smaller than others it makes me wonder if the bulk of your quilt is being supported. If the weight of the quilt is dragging it will affect the stitch length. This doesn’t address the puckering on the back. I agree with others who have suggested you may have stretched the backing when you secured it to the floor.
