I'll bet this quilting frame will work great with the foam tables.

This is what I did. I have a top cut out of pressed wood so that my Bernina would sit nicely in the well of my Singer sewing desk from the 70s. I had the cut out of the well match that of the Bernina insert. I did for at least 10 years of professionally machine quilting other people's quilt.

I have spent so much money on machines, fabric, gadgets, notions, hoops, stabilizer, thread, etc., I bought a Gigette 2 table with the insert to fit around my sewing machine . The last sewing table I looked at was $3000 so tried to get creative. I don't know anything about power tools or making things nor have anyone to do it for me; so I looked online and found two Cosco tables (29" x 19" x 48"). I put one on the left side of my sewing table up where my chair is and use that end for ironing. I put the other table behind my sewing table so I have an L-shaped sewing area. For easy sliding I use a teflon sheet that I bought on line for about $16. It was very large so cut it in half and gave the other half to a friend. I cut a hole out for the feed dogs and it works beautifully. It is not a professional, great looking setup but, boy, does it work!
