Product Information

Four adapters. A is for the Silhouette, B is for the Scan N Cut, C is for the Cricut and the D is for a Sizzix. As I mentioned earlier, the foil is very lightweight and you need to tape it to your project before you send it through your machine. It needs to be fairly taut so that it doesn’t move too much as the tool heats the areas of the design. NOTE: Once you remove your mat the above will not work as the mat will not load in exactly the same place to achieve a nice outcome. (well, maybe if you have a miracle it might 🙂 ) Ok, so we have the heating sorted. Let’s look at some steps to reach the end goal of foiling your design.

Foil Quill MDP Supplies: Foil Quill

NOTE: You can see the masking tape that I used to hold the foil down onto the project. I recommend that you use more than I did in this picture to hold the foil down a little better.

This is the inside of the card I made using the Foil Quill and gold foil. I was really pleased with how the foiling turned out. It was created with the Fine tip Foil Quill and was run through the Scan N Cut twice as it missed a couple of letters in the first pass. Above is the metal heat protector. It looks large in the photo however it is not all that big. You need to remember to remove it before your machine starts. It is only to be used while in standby mode so that your mat and whatever is on the mat is protected from the heat that the Foil Quill produces. More about the tool It takes about five minutes for the foil quill to come to temperature. While it is heating up, place the heat shield below the Foil Quill so that the heat doesn’t damage your machine. What To Look For Next My name is Susan Meier and my goal is to inspire you to learn and have fun with your Scan N Cut. I am so pleased you have popped in! I can honestly say it has lived up to the hype—it’s is such a great tool to have in your cutting machine arsenal.

The Foil Quill is externally powered, meaning it needs a power source to heat up. I have found a small portable battery unit works well (the kind I travel with to charge my phone when I’m not near an outlet). You can also plug it directly into a USB port in a wall charger, if your machine is close enough. If your machine has a USB power source, you can also use that, though machine manufacturers do not recommend it. How Do I Know If My Foil Quill Is Heating Up? Have you been wondering how to use the Foil Quill from We R Memory Keepers? I have wanted one for ages and finally managed to find it on sale and actually have the money for it. Whoohoo, great excitement. While the instructions state to use the USB on your machine, I recommend that you use an external source of power and NOT plug it into your cutting machine. The Foil Quill works with all major electronic cutting machines on the market. It has been tested with the following machines: The tool itself is interesting. It has a heat tip, protected by the ceramic outer shell. The heat tip is what activates the foil and adheres the foil to your project. What else do you need

Place the metal heat protector piece under the Foil Quill tool and then turn the power. Allow to heat for about 5 minutes. Hopefully you have found the information in “How to use the Foil Quill” easy to follow and it has inspired you further with your designs and projects. Place the Foil Quill into the slot that you would load your PEN tool into. For a Scan N Cut, there is only once choice. If you have a Cricut select the pen slot.
