which brand and also a dry iron-just a heated, smooth surface.

Holy cow--amazing. I actually drive by Lonaconing in western Maryland,
on my way to Cumberland or to my cabin in WV. Incredible photographs.
Makes me want to know more about the actual manufacturing.

Hi all,
I get the pronged rhinestones with the X on the back from tutu.com. By
the way, they are called Rose Montees. (Pronounces ROZ-ah mon-TEES.) She has

Are you actually finding the sew-in
rhinestones you don't want? The ones
with the base attached to the stone
and four little holes with which you
can sew the whole thing onto your
fabric? Where?!? I was told at least
10
years ago that those aren't being
made anymore and to use the prong
jewels.

no, not yardage. Pre-assembled motifs. I think the bridal/dance links look
promising, but I haven't fully explored yet or looked at prices.

I;d also like to apologize to Denise

not a problem! :) I have decorated riding shirts (modern) using heat-set
crystals. Would that work in place of the kind with prongs? When properly
heated they seem to have extremely good adhesion. Some

That's funny because it was The Rhinestone Guy who told us that they
weren't being made anymore because there wasn't a need for them. But as I
said that was 10 years ago or so and things do change.

On Wed,
The Vermont Country Store steam iron is the Black and Decker Classic.
This used to be a great iron. But when I bought one recently, it never
got hot enough to iron cotton, turned off constantly even when I was
actively moving it, and leaked all over the place.

For what it's worth, I glued rhinestones onto my daughter's socks when she
was 5 or 6. They lasted through numerous machine washings for a few years,
