Was asked to do some towels for girls basketball going to state tournament. First time I have done something for someone else.

I see no need for stabilizer on the bottom. I always use 1 or 2 sheets of water soluable on top depending on the thickness of the towels. Roberta

I have a very thin one that I use on the bottom. Got it years ago at a thrift store. BIG roll. Figure it should last me the rest of my life. And I use WSS on the top. Cheapo me, I use just enough to cover the design. Pin it on. I hate anything sticky on my machine.

I use a tear away on the bottom and a spray a temporary adhesive to tack it down so it doesn't move. Hoop both then put a water soluable stabilizer on top to press down the pokies and keep them out of the design. Many, many of the temporary adhesives will not clog up your machine. Read the labels.;)

I do a lot of towels and have only ever added the water soluable to the top and never had a problem.
Hope this helps

Most of the time I use a tearaway on the bottom and always have used water soluble on top.
