THere are probably tips and tricks I haven't learned yet that would make it easier or not? Or do you just opt to hand quilt or have it LA quilted etc?

The largest Quilt I've done on my 35 year old Bernina 830 was large queen size for my Granddaughter's wedding last summer.

I have quilted a queen sized on my huskvarna. It is difficult, but it can be done. Don't let the size of a quilt scare you into not using your machine. Also if you accomplish this, then you'll be able to quilt full, twins, cribs as well as lap quilts.
I also agree with what Grammy Dwynn said.
