Default rhinestone and vinyl

if i am making a design with both a heat applied film (such as foil, vinyl, etc) and rhinestones, which do i press first?
let's say i want the t-shirt to read "LOVE" in foil, and i want to use rhinestones in a heart shape to make the letter "O", should i heat press the stones first and then the other letters, or the other way around?

have you weighed the pros & cons of each method? surely i cant see how doing the rhinestones first would be best under any way you look at it!?!??

I am thinking you would press the vinyl first, rhinestones second.

That's my guess, too, since vinyl can take a second and third heating, can't it? Like when doing layers?? I just know the stones have to be re-pressed with the shirt inside out the second time... I know Sandy Jo uses vinyl, too. I wonder if she's combining the two processes?

I don't know enough about either to take a better guess than this tho...
