Channel locks won't work for SID unless you have perfectly straight seams (and if you do, tell me your secret!) and your quilt is perfectly squared on the frame. Many people without built-in channel locks use binder clips like these to lock their machine. Just make sure you get clips large enough to span the width of the panel your machine sits on, and put one in front of the wheel and one behind.
