She said there is a light-weight batting on the market now for just that purpose. I haven't seen it, but she said you can get it at JoAnn's.
I made another one with a very light-weight blanket and it was fine. Either way for me. Also batting gets expensive.

How does this compare to the 80/20?

I got my Quilt-Light batting by Mountain Mist at Joann's Fabrics last week. Maybe this is what your quilter friend is talking about. I quilted my on my domestic machine and had good luck.
