Do you use Q-snap for your projects? I'm using it now for the first time, and now I have to move the linen to keep on stitching, and I wonder if the embrodery can be damaged if it's hold by the clamps, they are really strong and hard to remove, I don't won't to spoil my project, how do you do it?

I know some people use fabric between the fabric they are stitching on and the camps to add a layer of protection. I stitch aida on an 8x8 Q-snap and have never had any problems with the embroidery being damaged from the clamps. However I do have to wash my pieces after because it will sort of flatten the stitches.

another great use with q-snap frames is the rubber claps for thread spools.    place them on the edges (on top of your work) and helps to keep them snug.  found a huge package on amazon for $20

As others have already said, try to put something between your fabric and the clamps. You may also want to twist them a little to un-stretch the fabric when you're done stitching for the day.

I love Q-snaps and use them for all of my stitching projects.
I put one side of Q-stap frame on books on the table, thus i can stitch with 2 hands and this spped up the work a little. :)

I use quilt batting between the snap and the fabric and that helps a lot!  I won't put beads in a Qsnap though - I will typically just bead in hand at the end.

I'm not really use Q-Snaps but I have one bigger Frame for a floor stand that has such snap holders. And I've also never had any problems with my fabric although I often change the position of my fabric.
