I'm not a Silhouette expert, and I'm still learning, but I'm thinking if you put the rhinestones on a separate layer, lock the text layer so it doesn't move, it would be easier to select and manipulate the rhinestones. I think in most design software (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.) folks under use layers.
I love it! I never would have thought to do rhinestones this way. In the past I’ve used the rhinestone panel to make designs that I cut from holographic HTV. Then I pressed the dots onto shirts to look like Spangles.
I just finished with a multi layer decal tutorial, but I did not add rhinestones. This is a great idea, though. I will definitely put one together soon. Thanks for the input!

That design looks amazing! Is there any way of converting a font to a single outline... i.e. just a line down the middle of each letter? I've been playing around with foil and the heat pen, but couldn't get the results I was after using just the outline tool. I ended up using the sketch panel and a fill, but of course it took way longer. Or maybe there are specific fonts I need to look for? I've been saving up my reward points and want to spend them before they pull the plug on the scheme on 15th February 😢 I also purchased the ES mat from a store in the USA on eBay, so I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of that in the UK.
Test the cut while the mat is still loaded. If it didn't cut well, just press send again. As long as you don't remove the mat, it will cut in the same place.
