Would this cause any problems?
Putting a solid bottom in a cloth pot.
If I drilled a bunch of holes in the bottom?

Why would you want it on the inside? I’m curious why I ask.

They are 7 gallon pots. A little bigger than the rolling stands I have.
Just trying to think of ways to make it work

And the trays are too small to put underneath.

Do you have a local hydro store? They carry saucers 16-24” wide that could catch the outside. Fabric pots still drain water along the side walls

Not anymore.
I was just thinking to catch the overhang. So it wasn't so sloppy.
I may just put the fabric pots in a milk crate. Seems to fit nicely

When I use my larger 5 gallon fabric pot, I just put 2 of my 3 gallon pot trivets under it....Seems to work perfectly fine. And I just print my stands. If you have a 3d printer, they are easy.

It won't matter having an overhang.
They won't go sloppy as you say.

I like those stands!

I like plant caddies...a little expensive but they roll and to empty the water, you pull out an easy little tray at the bottom. Made my life so much easier. Only good if you don't have height restrictions though.
