Most of the batik quilts I've done on a long arm are not backed by batick. That has not caused any tension problems but I do find when I have an all batik on the frame , that I don't want as much tension on the rollers as that does seem to cause more thread shredding, especially when using a very fine thread (like Bottom Line).
