Lisa - Your choice should depend on the what the final product will be used for. Is this for quilt squares and one thickness of fabric? If so I might be tempted to use tearaway (fusible or not) only because cutaway might be noticeable from the front since muslin can be on the "thin" side.

Tink's Mom 's suggestion is great as well for this purpose. However it would require a washing after the embroidery is done.

PolyMesh is great but can be pricey.

Threads Magazine has a good recap on stabilizers:

Hope this helps -
