Hotfix Rhinestones - Basic Information for Beginners

[@jutetwine4482]

love the simple way you communicate your points yet detailed, especially the difference cutting with and without backing. I have not cut my first template, feeling lucky that I watched your video before cutting. thank you..

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so much!!!

[@SmittenKitten.]

How did it turn out?

[@brandysdandycrafts]

Good FRY-YAY to you. I am so glad this video is still up. Had to come back and rewatch. Was working on a template and needed guidance which you explained great! THANK YOUxoxo

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I'm so glad it was helpful!!! Thank you for watching.

[@Nene_2015]

Hi i bought some of that material to cut my rhinestones but i use my silhoutte and i use the glitter cardstock setting with the backing on the material n it cuts great 👍

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you for sharing your settings!

[@Nene_2015]

Ur welcome 🤗

[@sherylmorgan3678]

I'm just getting ready to attempt this method for applying my hit fix rhinestones. Thank you so much for your detailed tutorial. It has given me the confidence to begin!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thanks so much for your comment! Rhinestones are so much fun to use. Since making this video, I have found that the flock and transfer tape from Heat Transfer Warehouse is so much easier to use.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Sheryl, did you happen to try this method yet? Would love to hear how it came out if you did.

[@marianneciovacco8565]

very informative, learned a new pressing trick for seams... move the rebound pad..TY

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you!!! And thanks for watching.

[@1LuckieDuckie]

Go to the dollar store and buy a small bristle brush hair brush. I like the kind that is a roll looking brush to swipe the template over a trash can. You can also use a toothbrush.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Such a great suggestion!!! I will try that. Thanks so much!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Loved this! Saving it! Thanks, Donna Watson Coastal Georgia 😊

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you!!!

[@siddiqasurti3874]

Wow love the way you explained this. I don’t have a cricut though, however I have a laser machine

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so much! I have cut a lot of rhinestone templates on my Glowforge laser, but only using Glitter Cardstock. The rhinestone template material is not laser safe. Thank you so much for watching!

[@carmencontreras9088]

So helpful I’m a beginner, just getting familiar with rhinestones projects

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I hope you end up loving them as much as I do!!! They are so fun:)

[@allainat666]

Informative and gives me hope! Thank you Marilyn!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I bet you end up loving blinging!! Thank you for watching!

[@rebamiller6145]

What about cutting the flock with the back on and not on a mat? That is how I do vinyl.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Which machine do you cut with? I would love to try that!

[@a.b.2957]

hello- I am new at this, and the face of my crystals are sticky after attaching to my fabric. Any advice for fixing this isue? Ty- great vid!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

The only thing I can think of is that the transfer tape you used left a sticky residue on the front. I have never had that happen. Does a warm wet cloth remove the stickiness?

[@a.b.2957]

@@MakingwithMarilyn TYSM for responding- I did not use transfer tape. The crystals are hot-fix sheets. They are not sticky out of the package, but after attaching, the face of the crystals are sticky and attract every bit of lint, and hair sticks to it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Ty for any advice you can give me. Maybe they are cheap? They did not seem cheap though.

[@evefavorse5939]

Super helpful tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you!

[@MajidKhan-jr4vk]

nice one video for us. what size for cutting 6ss holes? and also i use other cutting machine and this machine have small display i found " speed and force" so how much speed and force i use for this flock ?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

The 6ss holes, according to Silhouette's software, should be .102 inches in diameter. I have only used a Cricut Maker, so I am not sure about speed and force. What machine are you using?

[@MajidKhan-jr4vk]

@@MakingwithMarilyn its Seiki SK870 model

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@MajidKhan-jr4vk I am not familiar with that cutting machine. You might be able to search KZbin for a video on how to use it to cut rhinestone flock.

[@AuntLALA]

Lay it on me 🍿 I got my stencil vinyl in today. Let's do this!! I really shouldn't be this excited to do this 😂

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Oh my goodness, rhinestones have become my life!!! So much fun and beautiful results. I hope you enjoy it as well. Give yourself some patience at first though:)

[@barbaralong5209]

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you Jessie!

[@bigboiprints5726]

Turned out great!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you! Looking forward to doing more bling:)

[@mshopey32]

Can these be used on wood?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I never even thought of trying that, but it's a great question, so I will give it a try and do a short video on it:)

[@mshopey32]

@@MakingwithMarilyn Thanks for making the video! I watched it the other day! Great work!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@mshopey32 Thank you for the idea!!!

[@SmittenKitten.]

How strong is the adhesion for stones? I randomly came across your video, and like a magpie or raven, I'm drawn to all things sparkly!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

The adhesion, if pressed correctly, is very good. I wash my rhinestone shirts inside out in the washing machine. Then I hang dry them. I do add them all to the dryer when they are dry or almost dry to fluff them up.

[@SmittenKitten.]

@@MakingwithMarilyn Oh my goodness, I just asked you on another video! Haha! Thank you so much for responding. Your videos have been a wealth of knowledge!

[@moinuddin4947]

What is that back paper called?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

The white paper on the back is just the protective cover for the sticky side of the flock. Thanks for watching!

[@moinuddin4947]

But what's the name?

[@moinuddin4947]

Of that paper

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@moinuddin4947 sorry about that. I am cutting rhinestone flock. I prefer the pink flock from Heat Transfer Warehouse over this Amazon rhinestone flock.

[@moinuddin4947]

Actually I am making this product and I haven't been able to know what that back white paper is. Here in India we can't use flock because of the costing.

[@jackiemorgan6292]

try using a sticky lint roller it works x

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I ended up discovering that through watching another person's live. Someone in the chat suggested it so I bought one of the super sticky rollers:) Thanks so much for watching and sharing the suggestion!

[@tblack7860]
