I think the sandwiching is the same as if batting was included (I still thread baste in a grid, the old-fashioned way, since that works for me). My mistake was using Aurifil for all the quilting. That was fine for the SITD, but I should have switched to a heavier thread with a sheen, like Glide, to have any chance of the stitching showing up in the setting triangles and the unpieced strips.
I hope you post pics of your quilt/spread when it's done.
