I was thinking of either using clear tubing, like you'd get with an aquarium, or taking it to the auto parts store and getting black rubber tubing...the auto parts store is winning the "preference battle"....just becuase the air tubing is slick, the black rubber wouldn't be. The only thing that would concern me is if the black rubber would mark the fabric....
I'll try both and see what works when I can get this puppy hooked up to a machine! :)

*EDIT* William just told me about some stuff used by electricians to waterproof electrical connections that you put on and then shrink to fit with heat...he's going to bring me some, I'll let you know if it works!! :)
