The ones I've worked with have one set of prongs that go through the fabric, then the stone is set into it, trapping the fabric between the backing and the stone. But if you sewed the backing on first on top of the fabric, then set the stone, you wouldn't harm the fabric. And you could remove them later. Sharon

It seems that the settings I've seen have double prongs - one for the stone and one to go through the fabric. I;d also like to apologize to Denise for kind of taking over her question.
