When I was in Las Vegas this Summer doing Research I saw alot of Garments, Tees, Hoodies, ect..
At very spendy stores bringing 142.00 to 248.00 a piece that has Rhinestones set in Metal baskets kinda like the old bedazzer, but of Professional quality,, has anyones else seen this yet, and if so, anyone doing it yet ?
All the higher end Garments had this kind of setting, I am just starting my research on this now, and thought we could all do it together,,

They are heat set, we use them all of the time. They can be put on with either an iron or a heat press. About 350 degrees for around 10 seconds. If you use a heat press, and they are pressed onto a pants leg, be careful about putting a permanent press in the leg. My wife is still running around with a crease in one pants leg but not the other The red and green show up a little on this, but it also has clear crystals in it that really reflect and sparkle as she walks.

I think the ones from the links I linked to such as the rhinestone guy are the higher quality ones. He also has the press machines to attack them as you can see on this page Tools

Any garments with tiffany sets are very pricey. Nevertheless, they are of good quality.
They are inserted with a kick press, as sunnydayz listed above.
Industrially speaking:
The most expensive part of the process, other than the press itself, is the die. This is the part that attaches to the kick press and locks the stone in.
