OK, so after looking on youtube I am about 50% there in understanding. So here goes my current understanding. You buy some ordinary sign vinyl and you heat press onto the vinyl surface a piece of tee-shirt flock. So at this point you have the from bottom to top layer vinyl backing, vinyl, flock (and i imagine flock clear front protective layer which you pull off). You then place this composite (maybe on another backing sheet) into your cutter and cut your stencil image out by cutting through the flock layer?. You then weed this flock layer to end up with a piece of flock with holes in that will stick with the sign vinyl layer backing sheet removed onto another backing. You then fill the holes with rhinestones and using mylar tape transfer the rhinestones from the flock template to the mylar tape and then ultimately you press this tape/rhinestone combo to your item.

Well I have ordered some 32cm wide Mylar tape, about to buy a sample of rhinestones and I already have sign vinyl in stock so just need some flock. Now is flock the slightly 'furry' feeling material that I remember from my childhood t-shirts. I think back in 1976 it might have been the only heat press lettering available - well it always seemed that way at Butlins.

I am sure I cannot be the only member that is confused by the whole rhinestone process however have had good fun making template designs inside corel draw to cut later so like bigj2552 I need to buy some shirts.

Well I just ordered 14400 s10 clear hot fix rhinestones from Hong Kong. To practice with that should be enough for a t-shirt or two lol

Also think this is a good deal on the mylar paper if anyone needs some at the moment. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diamante-Rhin ... 33776f5afb

It is 1m lengths 32cm wide for 99p (+99p shipping on first item then 25p on rest) so to get 10m it cost me just over £13 which is I think a bargain.

The velvet feel is face down on the clear backing sheet. If you pull back the corner you'll reveal the flock.
