Hotfix Crystal Tool

It really is easy to do if you make sure you have the right size tip so that the stone fits properly. I test it out before I put it on the heating wand. Then I line up some stones face up so that I don't have to chase them around the work surface. Be sure the back of the stone bubbles up on the entire surface, then stick it on. The wand gets very hot so be extra careful with your skin and work surface :wink: . Have fun

Thanks for asking this question. I just purchased the same tool but haven't found swarovski hot-fix crystals for it yet in multiple sizes. I'd love suggestions on where to purchase. Also, some sites list odd sizes such as 2.9SS (or something like that) instead of 3.0. Is that a concern when trying to figure if it will fit in my tips? Appreciate the feedback.

Try http://www.artbeads.com. I'm not sure about the size you're looking for, but they have a good selection of sizes and colors. I have purchased from them.

Hi, I buy mine onlline at M&J trimmings. They have a marvelous selection in both size and color and, if you are going to do a lot of them, buying them in bulk really saves A LOT of money. Here's the link:
http://www.mjtrim.com/
I have found the genuine Swarovski crystals work better (have a better glue) and seem to sparkle more than other brands, but I haven't tried all of them, of course.
Also, if you have a mirror with a frame that you can place flat on the table, you can put your crystals on the mirror and pick up your crystals on your iron and see when the bubbles start. Doesn't take long. Also, if you get a nice long pin to help push down through the slits of the tips if they get stuck and to help place them before they are permanently placed, you can get them in the right place better.
I buy other trims there too, just fyi.

I have a Hot fix tool and have swarvski crystals and cheaper crystals. I have used it on my quilts and on T shirts. My T shirts have lasted through many washings.
What I have learned is you need to follow instructions and hold the tool on long enough. That is the hardest thing for me. I am too impatient.
Have fun with your tool. It has changed my quilting art and I love using it.
Hugs, Ann

Melissa,
I use several sizes, the smallest I can find, the one closest to 4.0, and a largish size. I also have used hotfix pearls on my quilts. They are neat, but you can't hold them on as long as recommended because they will scorch. I just experimented until I found the right amount of time.
Barbara.
Glad I discovered M&J online. I found them when I was making my Stellar Nursery quilt which has many crystals and I was looking to buy them by a larger lot to save money. But then I realized I had used them decades ago when I had my fashion design business in upstate New York and made a lot of wedding clothes and made periodic visits to New York. How great it is to find such neat things on the Internet, except I could spend a mint! :roll:

I have also ordered from Birch Creek Quilts. They carry many sizes, including the small ones, and I've had good service from them.
