Hi Debbie, there's been lots of discussions about this in the General forum. I tend to leave my beading till the end, but some stitchers do use Q-Snaps & bead as they go using wadding/fabric folded over to sit between your work & the clamp so that its padded out.

It might be worth having a look back in the General forum at any topics regarding beading issues for further info. I'm pretty sure it was discussed quite recently. Let us know how you get on :)
