I have a quilted scarf to cover the top of a TV cabinet type thing with shelves. I used high loft poly batting. I have pictures in frames that set on top and they do not wobble or topple.
I made a dresser cover without batting and quilted it. It was very hard to quilt.
I have only made these two and they are mine.

I have made lots of placemats and a few table runners to sell. I always use batting. On the Placemats I use fusible batting and birth them and do a zig zag stitch around the edge. They wash real nice. Then on the table runners I use batting (cotton) and quilt some on them and put a binding and they sell real well.

The ones I've made for myself I used fleece as combination backing/batting. They worked great as protection from the heat of all the hot dishes for my 6 ft folding plastic table. And yes I did a bit of minimal SID quilting.

I always use fusible fleece in my table runners with some quilting they lay super flat and wash beautifully
