I've done no batt and Thermore (very thin)and have sent them out for LA Meandering on the larger ones. I've done STD and bar tacking for the smaller ones......
I used Warm and Natural for the batting, and a cotton for the backing I do my own FMQ on my Husky Sapphire 830 using poly cone thread from Connecting Threads. I have a review of batiing on my blogs and Thermore is my least favourite (sorry). Good luck on your next project!
