FAQs: Rhinestone Fabric & Hotfix Rhinestone Sheets
What's the difference between rhinestone fabric and hotfix sheets?
Rhinestone fabric, sometimes called rhinestone tulle, is a stretchable, bedazzled cloth. It features glass crystal stones or imitation acrylic stones attached to a flexible mesh backing. You can cut it, stretch it, and drape it to create shimmering, eye-catching costumes and accessories.
Hotfix sheets are more like gorgeous, rhinestone-covered panels. These transfer papers are generally rigid, though they have slight flexibility. They’re also backed with a heat-sensitive glue that “irons” the design onto your project. Perfect for your hot-fixing crafts!
Can you wash items with rhinestone mesh fabric sewn on?
Yes, with care. Hand-wash in cool water using a super-mild detergent to protect both the mesh and rhinestones. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat, which can damage the backing and reduce sparkle.
Machine washing is possible with a gentle cycle. Use a mesh laundry bag and hang it to dry.
How do you attach rhinestone fabric to clothing?
Sew the mesh edges by hand or machine, using neat stitches that either blend with the fabric or create a bold contrast. The sew-on method is often best for dance costumes and professionally designed pieces.
You can also use strong fabric glue like E6000 or Gem-Tac for secure attachment. For hotfix sheets, set your iron to 310°F for thin fabrics or 325°F for thicker materials, pressing each section for up to 20 seconds to bond the rhinestones.
Can you cut rhinestone fabric sheets to custom sizes?
Absolutely. Rhinestone fabric cuts easily with regular scissors or rotary cutters. You can shape it to any size for dresses, jackets, accessory bags, or DIY projects. The sparkling stones remain securely in place, ensuring a glamorous, professional look every time.
Is rhinestone fabric stretchy enough for fitted garments?
Yes. The mesh backing is flexible and stretchable, moving with the body, perfect for dancewear, fashion costumes, and other fitted garments.
Hotfix sheets don’t stretch because they’re backed with adhesive transfer paper. Save these sheets for accenting fabrics that don’t need the ultimate movement.
