My LQS sells little kits containing insulbright for batting and a piece of heavier fabric to make a cover for a Walmart tv table. The tables are wooden and very sturdy--sell for around $6 at my last check and then you make a drawstring cover for over it or you can even use heavy staples and staple it on. Mine sits right by my machine and I just press as I go. They really are wonderful. When they get a bit scorched, I just let the cover on and put a new one over top. Best thing ever.
