I sometimes put my serger on my cutting table, which is one of these tables- it bounces way too much for me to use it there. I suppose you could do the same thing with the foam, but use a desk or a more sturdy base to stop the table from moving. Part of the enjoyment in sewing and quilting for me is doing it in a nice atmosphere. This setup seems untidy to me, and I think I would be catching my quilt on the hanging vinyl cover and pulling it.
