Sew-on varieties are less popular, as they take more time to attach and look less aesthetically pleasing. For embroidery with such rhinestones, you need to purchase a thin needle and thread that will not stand out on the fabric. Metal rhinestones are less versatile, they look rougher and more massive. In addition, they can cling to the fabric, making puffs on it, therefore they are more often used for leather and dense materials.
