Default What do you do with machine embroidery Stabilizer scraps?

I save mine.......Small pieces of tearaway can be used to float under the hoop, no show mesh can be joined by machine, making the pieces large enough to re hoop, as can cut-a-way stabilizer. Solvy (water soluble) can be re joined between two pieces of photocopy paper and sealed together with your iron. I join water soluble Vilene ( use for lace making) by machine using water soluble thread. It is amazing how far your stabilizer will go with this kind of re use, instead of throwing it out in the bin. Most stabilizer is not cheap to buy. Today I am resorting my tub of stabilizer scraps and re joining the pieces, placing them in plastic bags with a written label on them.
