Yes to the batting. A thin poly is what we used in the 70s for nursing home quilts. Some were tied and some were quilted simply. I know nothing about long arms, so I can't answer that, but doubleknit is pretty stable.

There is a lady that is in my sewing group that has made 2 quilts with double knit. They are tying it as its so heavy and would be hard to do on a machine. And she is not putting any batting inside as it will be a warm quilt.

I received two double knit quilts as a gift way back when double knit was the "to have fabric". Both have a muslin type frabic as the backing, were quilted using batting and were quilted not tied. They have had a rough life as they were my son's favorite quilts. They have survived being tents, dragged to ball games,car races and a lot of road trips. However, they have shown very little wear and tear. If possible, I would use batting and quilt it.
