Ramen noodles are good.
My DH and I took a piece of solid door and covered with MDF board put a lazy susan bottom on it...plan to cover with a piece of cutting mat for a rotating mat...will post pics when completed...love the room and batting that is hanging...we have some of those brackets.....going for another do it yourself.
Thanks for the ideas.

Nice set up. My cutting mat is now on a the top of a heavy cardboard that I have on top of a giant dog kennel. I use the kennel for my meddlesome black and tan coonhound when I have to go out.
Years ago when I didn't need a guest bedroom, I built a couple of frames of plywood and furring strips and put them on casters. The inside, open part held transfer file boxes full of fabric. They had 24 boxes in each framework. I did a lot of sewing on clothing then and could spread out long pieces of fabric for cutting.

Michael - I just bought Qbot, too.....but don't be afraid of freehand!!! I used 2 sheets from thrift store and cheap batting and went for it! It's easier than you think!
I love the set-up you have.
