My machine has a front loading bobbin and sits flush in a cabinet. There is a plexiglass "surround" that covers up the hole around the machine. I lift that up when I need to get to the bobbin area. This website has some good photos that show how the machine sits on a shelf, and also shows the plexiglass surround that covers the hold. Click on each picture to get a good closeup view:

If you have a top loading bobbin, the hole can be an exact match to your machine. With a front-loading bobbin you need a bigger hole and the plastic surround.

I've searched online but don't even know what to call it. Thought one of you might. Thanks!

Elenore Burns has instructions on her website on how to make a sewing table from an farm table. I would it could be used from what you describe
