No, you don't have to. The seams should be stable on their own before you get to the quilting. So FMQ to your heart's content. And you should see the difference in the unquilted top.
Now, don't go making the stitch so small you can't "unsew" it if needed. I have no idea what a 2.5 means on a Babylock. I sew on a 2.2-ish on my Bernina.
Let us know how the smaller stitch works out for you.
