I did the coarse grind followed by the medium grind with the stuffer into the casing. Should I have removed the blade and die when using the stuffer?

I do. I have heard other people using the fine plate and the blade when stuffing, but I have found it works better for me to do my grinding and then stuff it all at once. Usually, I either feed the meat into the grinder and Holly helps guide the casing or vice versa. I'm not coordinated enough to do it all myself. If I did it more than a couple of times a year, maybe.
