i do mine opposite Marty, hoop the stabilizer, lay the towel on and my machine with the wash away laid on top and then since my machine has a first stitch count that acts like a basting stitch, (makes a square basting stitch where the design is going to go) to hold the towel and wash away down ready for design. spray never goes near my hoops that way and i go through a ton of that stuff lol
