Purchase terry towels with a dobby border to make alignment a breeze. The border is a visual aid that simplifies hooping. Here’s how I stitch perfectly matched (and square) terry cloth towels.
I use the towel template from the Perfect Placement Kit to place a target sticker on each towel. I mark all of the towels at the same time. That way, I’ll keep my task on track if I get interrupted.
I fold the towel at the border and place the fold on the edge of Monster Snap Hoop (straight edge to straight edge makes for square embroidery). 
Then I drop the metal frame in place and Voila! I’m hooped square and straight!
Once the hoop is attached to the machine, I align the needle with target sticker and press go! It doesn’t get any easier than that!
