I have done a queen and vowed "never again" with that said, I bought a book that shows you how to cut out the batting, (imagine the quilt in thirds length ways) in a curving line cut off the outside third of only the batting, I repeat...ONLY the batting, then all you have to squish under the arm of the machine is just the quilt top and backing, quilt the center third. then you re-attach the batting using a basting stitch and quilt the outside third. I tried this on a twin size just to see if it worked and it was definitely easier! Have not tried it on a larger size. Good luck.
