Bedazzler or Gemagic ?: How do I use / set the rhinestones for these if not pre-set?

Question

I just bought a Gemagic clothing jewel setting machine for my kids to do with me. (I was told by sales lady it was just like or similar to a bedazzler --- another jewel setting machine they were sold out of.) I did not realize that it came with pre-set rhinestones as I do not like the ways these look. I was wondering if the Gemagic does the other types of stones (ie non pre-set ones), and if so then how do you set them? I need a 1-2-3 step by step guide. There are no instructions for non pre-set stones in the products box.

Update:

by non-preset stones I am refering to the ones used by bedazzler and other systems that have the stones and the settings not the ones you just glue or "hot fix" directly onto clothing. Thank you.

I think you need the Bejeweler or a Kandy Kane. Those use heat-set stones, crystals, etc. You set the crystal on the bejeweler (which is like a little tiny iron with a heated rod on the end), it activates and melts the adhesive, then you apply to your garment. I use the bejeweler on everything and it holds up fantastic in the dryer and everything.  I've seen the Gemagic in CVS and it doesn't look at versatile as a Bejeweler. Suessparklers carries a lot of this.

You need settings for either the Beadazzler or the Gemagic. To set stones without the metal prongs, you need to use the Hot Fix system , or get a good strong fabric glue  like Fabri-tac.

I am not really bothered since I am never at home to watch it. However, I have to say thay Myleene Klass is a very intelligent girl & will hopefully be able to stand up to Philip Schofield a bit better than Fern could.
