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 
a  huge selection, and very resaonable prices.
Hope this helps,
Patty

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

Are you  talking about "rhinestone appliques"? 

This type of item?  

http://www.gloryshouse.com/category_106/Rhinestones-Appliques.htm  



"Rhinestone embellishment" gets you things like this:  

http://www.gloryshouse.com/category_185/Rhinestone-Embellishments.htm  


If that's the ballpark you're looking for, try also "bridal  appliques" 
and/or "bridal trims". Everything shiny is either bridal or dance!  

Good luck! 

Lauren

Wow, those embellishments weren't even  on my radar. They're lovely.

Unfortunately, no. These look like costume  pieces when you get up
close. The sew-ons I'm talking about had a metal  base with grooves
formed into the back making an 'x' through which you  sewed the rhinestone
onto the fabric. This base wrapped around the glass  'stone.' They looked
really, really good, very much like the pronged ones  do - without the
backing forcing itself through the fabric. I haven't seen  them in years. I
had a costume with hundreds sewn to it (it cost a fortune  and weighed a
ton) and am now planning to take them all off to reuse  elsewhere. I bought
them at Berger's Beads or Bohemian Beads in downtown  Los Angeles probably
30 years ago - they had millions - and haven't seen  them since.

Just sew on the back first,  using an "X" stitch,  without the stone in it.
The back will be  attached, but not going through the fabric. Then set the
stone into the  prongs.

I don't know, Roxanne. The page opened  in Chinese saying that the website
