I have a Bernina quilt frame (made by the Grace Company) and I have done 3 double bed size quilts on it with my Bernina 440 standard size sewing machine. You are limited to the amount of quilting area but if you are careful and innovative you can do a really nice job within the small area. I have not tried pantographs yet, but plan to on my next quilt. I have a total quilting area of approx. 4" to 5". Make sure you roll up the quilted parts really tight so your quilting space is as large as possible. Also, if you have a full size frame, you can load your quilt sideways so you have less quilt to roll on the take up bar.
