Do you usually have your garment flat on a table when you are gluing on rhinestones? Or, if you have the garment on a dress form,, can you glue stones on a garment while the garment is upright? Will the stones stick properly and stay on if you glue the stones on the garment while the garment is on a dress form? Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer! I will be gluing on my first rhinestones in the next 2 days. P.S. Love your videos!
Well, if one is going to use the slow hot fix method, I think using a hot plate to heat many rhinestones at once is great idea! It would certainly speed the process up a good bit.
@@sewlikeapro1 They stayed on for at least three years of dancing, but only probably six launderings. (I know that sounds gross, but if I just had it on for a few minutes and didn't sweat, I just aired it out.)
Ok, I’ll lay out my secret of putting hot glue rhinestones. I sit by a stove (the fire one) and I take a stone with some tweezers - put is by the fire (3 seconds for size 16, 5 for size 20) and then apply to the clothes
Took your advise and ordered it off amazon ‘ thank you 😊 I so want bling 💎 everywhere on my dresses 👗

Thanks for the info and the tips. I just ordered a hot fix...now I know I am going to face a big challenge when it arrives 😅
Vera, how goes the hotfix? Do you like it for your purposes? Or have you tried other gluing methods since you commented?
Thank you so much, this was very helpful!
Glad you got some useful information!

I have seen someone use a hit plate for the hit fix rhinestones I thought it was soooo clever!

"Dingleberries of glue," bah ha ha ha haaaa!
I use the GemTac, it works well.
Thanks for the comment! Have you had your dresses for several years so you can tell how long the stones stay on?

What would be a good replacement for amazing goop uk version?
My Sew Like A Pro™ members in the UK mention they can buy an unscented version of E-6000 which is also an epoxy glue I use a lot.

That is cozy in the winter! But about when you rhinestoning in the summer?
@@sewlikeapro1 I mean, it’s not that how by the stove even during the summer. The flame doesn’t have to be set to high.
@@alexadevilish7339 Ohhh, I was thinking literally by the wood stove or fireplace! 😂
