I have found that stretching a quilt too tight in basting only causes the fibers to retract once the basting is gone which causes wrinkles and puckers throughout. I baste only to the point of snugness but not tight and my machine quilting usually turns out well. If it doesn't it's because I made an operator error and I can't blame it on tight basting.
