Start by placing the foam evenly on the plywood tabletop. Layer the felt followed by the canvas on top. Trim everything to fit the surface, leaving about six inches of excess material around the edges for secure fastening later.
Pull the canvas taut over the tabletop for a smooth finish. Fold the edges under once for a polished look, then staple securely into the plywood using upholstery staples. Work alternately on opposite sides to keep tension even, saving the corners for last.
Tuck the corners with neat hospital folds, just like making a bed for a crisp, tailored edge. Once fully stapled, your durable sewing table top is complete and ready for years of use.
