With flour sack towels, if you heavily starch (heaviest) you shouldn't need a stabilizer underneath; the fabric would be quite stiff and not distort when you sew. Of course, you would need to wash the towels afterwards to get the starch out.

I'm not a machine embroiderer -- have only done applique -- so you may be right. I do think starch is worth a try.
