Are you looking for rhinestone yardage? I have seen that JoAnn Fabrics carries that in the recent past. However, I just looked on their website and I don't see much. Perhaps you can check at some of the large trim companies - Wright, Westrim, Plaid. I know I've seen it on those plastic oval trim bolts on the trims wall.
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. The prongs tear silk taffeta and I don't like the way they snag onto everything near them. Please share your source for the sew-ins. Please, please. I've got some I used on a costume Thanks, LynnD On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 10:36 AM, Land of Oz <lando...@netins.net> wrote: > I want to buy some rhinestone elements to sew onto a dress, but I'm not > finding what I need.
