Here's a quick little idea that works for me.  I call it "free motion basting."  If you are embroidering a small item, such as a collar, pocket or anything smaller than your hoop, hoop your stabilizer, mark the stabilizer and your item for center placement.  Pin the item to the stabilizer matching these marks.  Take the hoop to your regular sewing machine, slip it under the needle and baste around the item to be embroidered.  Remove the pin(s) and it is now ready for the embroidery.  I don't use sticky stabilizer unless I have to, although I do like the new one--HydroStickâ as it does not gum up the needle.
