No. If you put the batting in upside down this can cause batting pokies to come through to your backing. More common in LA than domestic due to the size of the needle and speed at which a LA operates.
Things that will keep your layers from shifting while you are quilting is more basting, be it safety pins, needle and thread or spray basting and stabilizing quilting before you go on to detail background quilting. See if your library has Harriet Hargrave's book Heirloom Machine Quilting. She explains this very will with lots of pictures. You can also pick it up used on Amazon for basically the price of shipping. Well worth it.
