I just hate to throw stablizer away.. It is so expensive, and you have to cut a pretty big piece to fill a hoop.. so I save the different kinds of stablizer in ziplocks.. then sew the pieces together.. or I'll just stick a new piece of the hole in the old.. I use the wash away kind either by sewing it together or I disolve the pieces and stiffen something that needs it. I will also just use a piece to float under the embroidery if it needs extra stablizer... nope, don't throw anything much away.
