Is it necessary to use an envelope feeder to print the business size and
raised line checks?

Andy,
Instead of Quicken-type checks which are pricy, there are two alternatives,
one costing very little more than wallet checks. 1. Most banks sell a
business-sized check in a check-book. This check is almost as big as a
business envelope. It usually does not have a stub to tear off. Its fields
are just farther apart. This check option allows you to keep track of check
number yourself because remaining checks stay in the book.

2. A more costly, but neat, option is the large print, raised-line check.
This is the same size as the business check above, but has raised lines and
raised print. Money Talks supports this as well. These checks are in a book.
Most banks have them, but they don't know it until you go through the bank's
big book of check types and styles with them ― and then they are amazed to
find it there. It is a more expensive option, though.

Personally, I don't like the 3-to-a-page checks because I have to keep track
of partial pages of checks when I write only one. However, a number of
people, some on this list, find such checks to work well.
