I live in a small apartment and my sewing table is 32"x32" so I bought a sheet of green-ish rigid insulation (not the styrofoam with silver coating) that is 1" thick and 4'wide x8' long. I had them cut it twice at 32" so, when stacked, it'll be 3" thick which is what I need to be flush with the needle.
If I move to a larger place when my lease expires, I can always buy a larger table and re-do it.
