I found this surfing the internet and thought for all of us who just began quilting might come in handy for you as well.

Has a video and looks so easy to make.

Thanks for that link...very interesting. I'm passing it along to others who have complained abt their tables and draging...I'm going to do it myself.

I think I am to once I get my craft room set up. Waiting for the hubby to move his treadmill out .

So I can move in. LOL

Welcome from Oklahoma

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the board.

Thanks for sharing--a great idea!

I followed these directions last year and use the foam table on top of an Ikea sewing desk (actually, it was a computer desk). But, instead of the clear vinyl, I used white oilcloth...the modern heavy-weight stuff. It is very slick and you can't see the foam through it. It's been perfect for quilting. I ordered the oilcloth from Mendels.com; they have a huge selection.

One thing I have had a little trouble with is the back edge of the opening for the presser foot plate that you cut in the vinyl/oilcoth. Sometimes the edge of a piece of fabric will get caught on that edge. I taped it down with blue painters tape but you need to replace the time from time to time. Not a big deal at all. I love my table.

that is cool. if i ever get home i'm gonna do it.

Thank you very much.

Neat idea!!!! Now, I just need to find the tables, find room in my sewing area (living room), find the money to buy the things.....
