Default Machine embroidery question

I hope I posted this in the right place.
Do any of you have a favorite for machine embroidery templates? I’ve seen some online but wondered if there were any favs among you.
Id like to know how to get the embroidery on two different towels in the same place.
Thanks,
joan

On the same site as above are helpful tips.

This one has more information.

I just use a ruler and mark cross hairs for the center point of design. If you have software the cross hairs can be printed on the design template.

For hooping, I mark the cross points right onto stabilizer. Match the center points of stabilizer and item you are stitching the design on.

This is the method I use for matching the stabilizer with item (towel, or fabric block, etc). Much easier than re-typing and explaining it. Scroll down about half-way.

I hope that helps. Post back here if you need more help.

There are a ton of videos on youtube, too.
To get your placement correct on two different towels, here's how I do it..there are dozens of ways, though. I would measure from side to side and top to bottom, and mark (chalk) my placement spots. On my hoop I have raised arrows marking the center of all 4 sides. Once you have the area squared and marked on your towel, then just use you marks on hoop to line it up.
