I agree about not trying to hoop the terry, especially on some of the heavier towels. For the top, I like to use a layer of tulle (fine nylon net) along with the washaway; it is easy to clip or tear away, and really keeps the design from sinking into the loops after rinsing away the washaway, and offers support thru many washes. I pin the tulle & washaway on top, away from the design area being embroidered.
