Default Do I need to quilt lines in both directions to secure batting?

I'm working on my first quilt and I quilted diagonal wavy lines 3" apart.

Do I have to quilt in the opposite direction (cross hatching) to secure the batting?

I'm using Pellon natural cotton batting with scrim which I preshrunk. Packaging states the recommended stitching distance is 8-10".

My neck, shoulders & arms are NOT enjoying the quilting process. At least not as much as I enjoyed the piecing process!
