Question Stabilizing vintage embroidery

I’m looking for advice on how to stabilize some blocks that are being cut from vintage tablecloths, napkins, dresser scarves, etc. There will be 42 blocks that are 10”x10”. The pieces I will cut are embroidered and sometimes crocheted around the edges. The fabrics are white/ivory cotton, linen, or muslin. Since I will be doing some minor repair on the embroidery or covering small holes with additional embroidery, I feel I need some sort of stabilizer. I don’t think I want to use the tear-away or wash-away products; I believe it needs to be permanent. I am a newbie at this! Thanks for any ideas/advice you might share.
