you shouldn't have any problem with it and no bat--if need be you can adjust your tension, but I seriously doubt it will be a problem in the long arm. One thing to remember is you may see the "pokies" more without any bat cause the top and bobbin thread usually will "lock" and be buried in the bat and you won't have that extra thickness. So I'd definitely suggest a #50 wt thread and the same color top and bobbin.
