I think if you stitched "in the well" [*] with Q-Snaps, then putting the pieces over finished stitching wouldn't be too bad.
Googling turns up this: http://www.crossstitchforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21809 in which people recommend that, or putting a bit of protecting fabric between, or just not bothering with anything at all. I think I'd not be comfortable with "nothing at all," because I often struggled a bit to get the clamp pieces off.
[*] Fabric front-up on bottom, full frame on top, clamp pieces attaching from the bottom of everything. It doesn't let the excess fabric flow over the sides quite as neatly, probably, but likely it's still workable.
I'm still working on the small project in the hand, so I haven't tried it. Offer to loan you my Q-Snaps still stands--I'm totally in love with stitching in the hand and the next thing is going to be trying to finish the big WiP that way.
