tmg is correct. Use water soluble stabilizer on the top. It pushes down the nap while embroidery. Also, instead of hooping the terry cloth (it's very thick) use a sticky back stabilizer and do the 'no' hoop method. I used 2 layers of water soluble stabilizer, sprayed it with temporary glue (I used june taylor quilt basting spray--works OK) positioned my towel, covered with 2 layers of water soluble stabilizer, stitched.
Also, when using the water soluble stabilizer DO NOT just spray it with water to dissolve. This only makes is nasty, throw it in the washer after removing as much of the stabilizer as you can.
Ask me how I know!!
Good luck and don't let terry cloth get in your way!
