I use an iron on stabilzer on anything that is stretch. You can get it in tearaway

There are several choices for stabilizing a stretch material. You can use a temporary adhesive spray, water soluable glue stick, sticky paper or just regular cut a-away that you hoop, then pin very well your project or base it to the stabilizer. I'm not sure what fabric you are referring to. After attaching my stabilizer, I try to hoop the project along with it, unless it is velvet or some other type of fabric that will have burn marks. That is where the hoop leaves a permanent mark. I will give you a list that I reference when I am unsure of the type of stabilizer in the continuing post. I have to go find it and copy it. ;)

Go down to the bottom of the community page to the very last page, at this posting it was page 102, the last question, "What stabilizers do you use" and I had listed most every fabric and the stabilizer I use. ;)

christina , when I embroider say towels I use Sticky back stabilizer and I hoop the stabiler , stick the towel to it and float the WSS on top . Hope this helps . A spring flower for you.

went to answer but I think you have all the answers that you need and I use the iron on tear away with tear away as well if it is a dense design or just for extra stability then tear it all away together. I have found that if you hoop it all together it gives you a better job as it doesn't move around.
