See the fu ll step-by-step video tutorial on how to make rhinestone templates with Cricut:

It is looking like in the end I am going to have to cut test templates for each batch of stones I get and do a brush test. When I design I use 3.49mm to cut my circles and have no problems."Īll this just leaves me more confused. " HIya,I have been using SS10 stones from shine art.According to thier catalog they are 2.7mm-2.9mm. So for 6SS I design and cut 9SS and 10SS I use 13SS." "As a general rule of thumb, I use 3 sizes up to cut my templates. Not that I am far enough along to use many of them yet, but I thought I'd pass it along.Īfter dickering around some I've found some suggestions: I have it as a notice in google calendar. On a side note, this site: offers a free rhinestone font on the 17th of each month. My test cuts suggested growing them a micro amount helped in brushing. I am also not sure if I should set the vector circles to those exact sizes, or grow them a tiny amount to allow for the stones to drop in easier when brushing. I also have a limited amount of stones for trial. Errors happen when cutting, but it makes me want to pull my hair out. But like a carpenter I want to measure twice cut once. Various sources differ sligtly in the stones sizes, like here: It does help to illustrate the problem I find. Equating those sizes to the ss numbering of stones is missing. SeeJaysPlace, that is close too the information I seek. As this is all just testing, and I can do the designs manually, the fancy software can wait awhile. But for now I can do them by hand in CorelDraw with heavy use of Blend along path and duplicate and repeat.

I've been looking at rstones and drawstones macros for CorelDraw.
