Tip : Stable Stitches - an article on stabilizers & embroidery 

Tip : When hooping your fabric, make sure that you also hoop a piece of stabilizer that is completely caught by the hoop. The stabilizer provides the support necessary to have the best possible stitch out quality.

 Tip : Embroidery Hoop Basting Stitches - This is a long stitch that stitches around the perimeter of the hoop to hold the fabric in place while doing embroidery. When using these, sew the hoop basting stitch before sewing the embroidery design and as a separate design. Then load the design you want and sew it out.
