I have the floor Q Snap frame. The clamps are half pvc pipes with ridges on the inside. They grip the quilt and you can turn and tightened or loosen the tension easy. You can buy the pvc long clamps at Q Snap website. http://www.qsnap.com/default.asp I would call and ask about the diameter of the pvc before ordering. I think the Q snap frame are not standard size PVC.

could you slip the clamps into an old pair of thick socks? Just keep adding socks till it holds, or fold the socks over a couple of times and slip the clamp in it.

Try the bicycle rings that quilters use to hold rolls together - they just might do the trick.

I found some old elastic suspenders at my local thrift store. They were sewn together in an "X" with clips on both ends. Remove the stitching, and you end up with 2 adjustable elastic bands with clips on both ends. Great for the quilt frame, and they hold really well.
