under the hoop.. once done everything came off clean, no sticky on the fabric because the iron on was the first layer and no sticky in my machine because the floated tearaway got all the sticky .. maybe a little over kill but I love the ease of the sticky but sometimes it is very hard to get off some fabrics.. can't do that on all fabrics but works well for t shirts and towels.. and designs look great..

What is sticky stabilizer? On shirts made out of stretch knit and fleecy, you only need one or 2 layers of iron on tear away stabilizer, depending on the amount of stitches.If it has not been digitized for these fabrics, you might need to slip a bit of normal tear away under the hoop. And it has to be good quality iron on so you don't get your machine gummed up.Spray adhesive was not recommended by my dealer, because it DOES mess up your needles and machine.There is very little difference between tear away and cut away. It is a matter of preference.

If you do use sticky, or the spray, you'll want to make sure to clean your needle(s) as you go. We use a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol. It gets off the sticky residue left of the needle, and dries fast (recommended by the training class I took for my machine).
