You could use Q-Snaps. They come in different lengths so you can combine them to make any size you need. And you can make them smaller than your linen. You use move them around to stitch where you want to. I also have an Artisian stand and I use Q-Snaps all the time. In fact I have a sampler, Eleanor Parr on a set now. The linen is approx 27 x 30 and the Q-Snaps I'm using are 18 x 12.
