Subject: Lattice stone pattern Author: new to stoning [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:10:24 12/30/09 Wed Author Host/IP: 99-9-199-160.lightspeed.ronktx.sbcglobal.net/99.9.199.160 Is there a trick to the lattice pattern used in stoning? I didn't know if it should be applied onto a trim, applied as a chain, or if they were loose stones carefully applied in the lined pattern. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

[> Subject: here is how i do it Author: valerie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:38:11 12/31/09 Thu Author Host/IP: NoHost/24.100.94.226 i buy flatbacks.....usually 16ss or 19ss. i take a ruler and start drawing the lines with a fabric pen. you have to be very sure about the placement before you mark if you are using dyed material. if it is factory, then the fabric pen will just wipe off. get a 45 degree angle one way and keep moving your ruler over lining up with the previous line you drew and mark a new line until you are finished all one way, then reverse your ruler the other way and start drawing your lines the same way to make diamond shapes. i hope that makes sense. then you just take e-6000 or gem glue and run a bead of glue over each line and stone. it isn't as hard as my description sounds....i'm just not good at describing lol [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

You'll have time to stone following the pattern and then it will disappear! You can also lay a flat simple trim, glue or sew it down, then stone that. Either works fine.
