Oh my!! I have been trying to keep mine super clean, thinking that would help. Now I will let it get "gummed up" and give it another try. I knew there was a trick to it that I hadn't tried yet. Thanks so much. This is a great way to share ideas and get help. My three year old granddaughter loves all the bling that I have added to her outfits and hair ribbons. Thanks again.

My first question would be are you using the right number for the tip? They can be hard to read sometimes. Second question is how "used" is your gun. I am not a master by any means but I have heard mom and my sister talk about how it needs to be sort of "gummed up". The more you use it the better it will work. Also I have seen mom flip a crystal upside down purposely to build up the glue on a tip of a new gun. Are you using the kandi gun? We carry a new gun at the moment but if you can't get it to work right, you may want to call them and see what they can do about it. I'll let mom know and she can get on here later tonight and can give you some more pointers as well. They are pros at the gun and know a lot of tips to help make it easier. It isn't any fun when you get into something new and it won't work right for you! It doesn't make you want to do anything with it!

Hi, Sometimes when I use the applicator wand it picks up the crystals but lets them fall off quickly. Is there a trick to cleaning or adjusting the wand. I got it at the Pattern Hutch about a year ago.

I figured I'd start a group about the stencils. Since they are not really about sewing or anything like that, I felt they needed their own special group! If you have any questions or want to share some of your work... feel free!
