Thanks!!
I have read that if you can't hoop it, to use the sticky stabilizer and to put the washaway stabilizer on TOP of the terry...the stitches don't sink into the weave but stand up nice on the top of the terri...after your done just wash it out. I got some 5x7 basting files on sewforum.com to hold the fabric down
