i do all my kings and queens on my small kenmore sewing machine and i do FMQ all over i do it in sectons with the batting only in the section i am quilting starting in the middle then when i am done doing the middle i spray baste the next sectoion and add the batting and so on till it is all quilted , doing the middle does require a bit of bunching up but not as bad when the rest of the batting is not on the rest of the quilt
