I use both. I like sew-on/no prong crystals on fabric that needs to maintain it's stretch or flexibility. but, I became a convert to glue-on stones once I learned that that's what professional ballroom costumers use, and when I got tired of poking my fingers trying to push needles through thick bra and belt bases or had a couple dozen to apply and the thought of sewing all of them wore me out. if you use top quality swarovski crystals and the right glue (I forget what it's called, 'something 2000' or whatever like that), it works a dream and absolutely does not look cheap or unprofessional. I'll use glued-on crystals to juice up a bra and belt set. I have used them on lycra with great success, too.
