My version of the foam quilting table
#32
I still love my version of Marguerite's "table" and find it very versatile. I moved last year and added another section behind my sewing desk (supported by some moving boxes full of stuff!) and now have a pretty large surface for quilting.

I love Marguerita's idea. I have hesitated adapting my table because of the vinyl issue, wondering what to put under the vinyl so the foam board wouldn't show. You have the answer!! I just checked the price for oil cloth at Mendels and don't know if I want to fork over $60.00 plus shipping for 4 yds. I may have no other option, we'll see. Anyhow, good thinking on your part and thanks for sharing a wonderful idea.

I used to buy oil cloth (for classroom bulletin boards and table covers) at our local Walmart when they had a fabric dept. Perhaps the WMs that do have fabrics would carry it. I don't recall what I paid for it.

I used clear plastic on mine. I went to the dollar store and purchase two clear plastic table clothes. I think the total cost was $3 or $4. I got as plastic that was as thick as possible.
It works fine.

Thanks for the pictures and description on how to wrap the pieces.. Now I need to wrap a couple of cutouts on mine..
Today I'm learning how to miter the corners on a table topper.. The fabric for the sashing has a printed on lace effect and I wanted it to continue around the corners without a break.. After watching a tutorial to learn how, I resorted to using fabric glue to hold them.. I hope to sew them after the glue is good and dry!
