Is the machine flat with the cabinet bed?
One thing you can do is tape a Teflon sheet (the kind used to catch drips in an oven, or an applique pressing sheet for fusibles) to your surface. Make a small hole for the needle.
You can even just purchase clear plastic and tape that to the surface. (Walmart sells it in the fabric area, off of rolls, for just a couple of dollars per yard.)
Just be careful to remove tape when you are done. The adhesive in tape can become permanent over time and mar the finish of your cabinet. Also do not allow the tape to become heated, as this also cements it to the surface.
