A: Each kit accomplishes a different craft.
First, there are no htv rhinestones, let me explain -
There are nonhotfix (flatback) stones, these are used for blinging anything by hand using an adhesive like our fusion tack or a two part epoxy and placing the stones one by one by hand with a Crystal Katana tool or another rhinestone pick up tool of your choice. These stones are smooth on the back and generally just silver, bare. This is hand blinging, and our shoe kit is meant for that.
Now, there are hotfix stones. These are meant for garments or used in conjunction with our HTV Anything but I'll get to that in a minute. Hotfix stones (we have diamond cut and korean low lead, the only difference in them are the cut/shine.) Hotfix stones have a heat activated adhesive pad already placed on the backs of each stone. If you look you'll notice a gray backing. That's the pad. For shirts these are what you'll use and are included in the tee shirt kit.
Now, the difference in materials -- Most importantly, we have 3 thousand youtube videos that can walk you through the entire process of each type of craft you want to achieve here. We've covered the stones, now you'll need a design download and open our crafter file. They're already knocked out and the holes cut and in place. All you do is load the blue Magic Flock (no backing is best but youtube will help greatly with the details), cut, place on the table and brush in your stones. Then there's Hotfix heat tape. That's the material you'll use to place over your stone design, and lift them out of the flock keeping the design in place. Lay directly on your shirt and press. Let cool a bit, peel off the heat tape leaving a stone design behind on your shirt.
Now the other materials for decals..... We have bling anything which lets you create stones into a decal. And we have HTV Anything which lets you apply HTV to it, press, and creates that also into a decal. With HTV Anything you can even add stones to the top and press again leaving a rhinestone htv decal. The stones will NOT stay in place if you do this on a shirt, they will come off in launder. It will only work for the decals.
Again for visual on each product, please visit our Youtube channel at The Rhinestone World. There's many short videos but for an extreme beginner, we suggest watching any that are marked Lives or Live Training. They are much slower and more in depth and Matt answers the questions along the way as it was filmed.
So in short, no kit has everything you're wanting, they're all split up. If you choose to get more than one kit, I do recommend carefully labelling each material as they all can look very similar but will fail if used under the wrong conditions.
