I have quilted a queen size quilt on my regular machine. It is harder than if you have a larger throat machine but it can be done. I started in the middle and worked out. I just draped my quilt. Didn't roll it. Something that helped my a lot was quilting gloves. I bought my first pair from Fons and Porters buy found that gardening gloves with the bumps on them work just a well. Good luck and have fun.
