So kind of you to share this, Justine! I just received my SNC and haven't had a chance to set it up yet but the foil quill is something I am willing to try. I like the fact that you are able to personalize items, which really is so cool. I debated back and forth for 3 yrs about getting either the Cricut or SNC so I'm just hoping I chose correctly...I needed something to cut out stamped images as my hands are arthritic and I'm unable to fussy cut so hopefully, the choice I made is right for me. Thanks again, Justine!

Nancy Lynn I have the original SNC and just bought the new SDX125. I bought the Brother Foiling kit after watching Julie Fei-Fan Balzer demo it on KZfaq and I love it! It is half the price of the WRMK foil quill plus does not void the warranty on your SNC machine and uses regular lamination foil. I found this a win win situation for me. Good luck with your new machine.

@conniehinojosa2201 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Justine, I have just got my Foil Quill, and as I have a visual memory this video has been very useful to me to commence to use my Foil Quill. I have noticed that you can only outline the drawing using Cricut. Have you explore the option to fill the image too? Silhouette software is more advanced and has a feature to fill the image to foil it later. You can draw, fill and then even cut. I believe that you can foil and cut with Cricut but the filling option is not possible. By the way, to cut the image after this has been foiled, it is useful to place the cardstock not at the top of the mat, hence once Cricut has finished foiling, you can easily remove the foil without removing the cardstock from the mat then you can cut it without problem. i would love to learn how to fill an image to foil it later. Thanks and happy crafting

Wow that last one on what looked like burgundy cardstock with the gold foil was gorgeous. I do have the foil quill that you showed, but I'm in somewhat temporary housing right now and I don't have the space to use my brother scan and cut oh, so I haven't tried it yet. But I'm so certain that I will love it that I also got the freestyle foil quill. You guessed it I haven't used that one yet either lol. But I plan to soon. Honest I am. No really. lol. Have you by chance tried yours with Stampin up cardstock?

@AndreaStevens2012 3 жыл бұрын

Nice video, thanks for posting! Couple questions, please. 1. I am wondering if you think the reason the foil did not work on the other brand was solely due to it being a lesser weight than your brand, or is the brand of cardstock made by the same company that makes the foil and pen thus making it more compatible? Foil is kind of on the pricey side and I hate to waste by using the wrong brand material. May I ask please, what was the other brand you used? I use a variety of brands all with varying weights, so I guess what I am saying is, if you think the weight is relevant not the brand so much, then could you give us the weight of the cardstock that turned out well? 2. Do you find that applying more pressure is more likely to get a better impression or would making multiple passes? 3. You mention the foil that comes with the pen is different from the two brands you normally use, can you be more specific as to "how" it is different? I assumed as long as the foil was the type that needed heat to work, you could use it. I often use multiple brands when I know they're compatible and when I find a better deal on one over the other, but I don't want to buy say Heidi Swapp foil only to learn it won't work with my Quill pen. You know what I mean? And one more, please... 4. You mentioned that we must have our machine set to DRAW, not CUT. Does this mean we need to upload the image as a PRINT file or can we upload as a CUT file as long as we change it in Design Space? I have tons of my own designs I'd like foil but have uploaded them all as CUT, I don't really want to upload them again and have two of each...but I've been jonesin' for a foil fix 🤣 for so long that I will upload them again. OK, that's all I have. TIA for any additional info you share, and thanks again for posting such a good video!

@justinehovey 3 жыл бұрын

1. Thermoweb makes foil, I don’t know the name of the type of foil it is but the foil needed for the foil quill or the glimmer machine is thermal foil. Thermoweb transfers through stickiness while spellbinders/thermal foil transfers through heat. 2. Multiple passes don’t work too well I find because my foil usually starts to come up. You could adjust your machine to cut one level deeper if you prefer (ex medium cardstock you could use heavy cardstock setting). I’ve never had an issue using the Cricut settings though. 3. See answer 1. 4. You can use the draw feature with any cut file.

We encourage retailers to be transparent with consumers with respect to the warranty implications of using the Foil Quill, and allow her to make an informed decision.”

What settings did you use on the cricut?

You have to use the settings for what you are putting the foil on. If you’re using cardstock, put the setting for cardstock.

Hi Justine. Thanks for the Foil Quill review. As a FYI, I just wanted share a link to a letter Cricut sent to retailers regarding the Foil Quill. Here’s the link: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0224/5205/files/Retail_Letter_re_Foil_Quill_-_Cricut_1.23.2019_1.pdf?18277304676756991682 The following quote summarizes the letter: “Because the Foil Quill is outside the current intended use of a Cricut machine, using it in connection with a Cricut will, of necessity, void the consumer’s Cricut machine warranty. We encourage retailers to be transparent with consumers with respect to the warranty implications of using the Foil Quill, and allow her to make an informed decision.”
