FAQ
What color is Crystal in rhinestones?
Crystal is clear and colorless with no coating. It is the most versatile rhinestone color, adding bright sparkle without introducing any hue, so it pairs with every fabric and palette.
What is 6ss in millimeters?
6ss rhinestones measure approximately 1.9mm to 2.1mm, one of the smallest sizes in our range.
What are 6ss rhinestones best for?
6ss rhinestones are best for detailed hotfix transfer work: fine lettering, serifs, and tight outlines on iron-on and Silhouette-cut transfers where larger stones cannot hold the line. They brush into a transfer for far finer detail than 20ss and up can manage.
What is the difference between hotfix and non-hotfix rhinestones?
Hotfix rhinestones have a heat-activated adhesive already on the back, set with an iron or a BeJeweler® applicator. Non-hotfix (flatback) rhinestones have no backing adhesive, so you set them with a fabric or craft glue and a pickup tool. Hotfix suits fabric that tolerates heat and pieces washed often; flatback suits delicate materials and non-fabric surfaces.
