Some use masking or painters tape to hold down the backing as well as clamps. If you are going to use pins, slide a marble or similar under the backing so you can get the pin through the backing and back up. Also pin on a surface that the pins won’t scratch up.

Also use those same clips, on an antique porcelain topped kitchen table. Generations of scratches, but I usually put my big cutting mat under where I'm pinning so I don't add to it. My mat is not the full length of the table, but is the same width so fairly easy to just slide from one end to the other without disrupting the quilt.

Towel Clips
I use these ones I bought from Amazon. Easier on the hands than the woodworker ones and seem to hold well enough.
