What is the best application process to use for a rhinestone or crystal heat transfer design?

It's not impossible, just more difficult and more time consuming.

It is surprising how long it can take to "draw" or "design" a custom rhinestone heat transfer. Many times revisions are needed to fine tune and perfect your custom transfer before going to production. This is not a SERVICE we are able to offer for FREE.
