My sewing frame snapped in the middle of a project last week

I was working on a Smith-Seymour binding and half way through sewing the third section the crossbar just cracked. Had to finish the book using a makeshift clamp setup with a C-clamp and a piece of scrap wood. Has anyone else had a frame fail on them mid-project and what did you do as a quick fix?

Wait, you finished a Smith-Seymour binding with a C-clamp? That's insane.

Did you use a spacer block under the clamp to avoid marking the leather?
