I think you are right that it doesn't say to do that. I just do because it holds even better. It can get in the way of the rollers though so that has to be considered.
Hsn offered the foil quill pen this past week, but I just use my regular foil quill to write freehand with. I first realized this when I had gotten the quill and it hit washi and didn't penetrate to the paper. So, I decided to try to save my project by doing it by hand and it worked. I figured that it would because I have the WRMK original bulky foil pen and it is the same premise.
What if you try using a small heat press on the cormor to flatten it back out? Or a set of heavy books with no pattern on the cover that could leave an imprint. Only place the test articles on the dent, do not go further in.
@@SugarShineDesigns You're welcome. I hope my heat press comes in soon. What a nightmare I have had after ordering it! Oh and thank you for the video, I'm now waiting on the magnetic sheet as well.
Ok this may sound like a dumb question but I have the first cricut with cartridge if I take out the cutting device how does the picture transfer to the foil?
Thank you for such an excellent video about the foil quill mat. You have been really good at demonstrating exactly how to use it. I have really been thinking about getting it. But, have been waiting for a really good review that shows how to use it . I wasn’t sure if it was worth the investment. But, now I am really thinking of going to get it ASAP. And I like how you pointed out about the pen to use with it. I am wondering if some other type of pen shaft to use instead also might work. That sounds like another good option. Thank you again for your excellent video. I really love the quality of the production very sharp and clear. Also I love no distraction of background music.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback Gail! I love that you are careful about deciding what to buy. Everyone should be as disciplined! I think you will like it. And yes, I’m sure you could rig up something that could substitute for the stylus to use with the pen tip. If you try something, I hope you’ll come back and let us know what you did and how it worked. 😊 Janet
I don't have the Maker. I have used it on the Cricut Explore. Per WeRMemory Keepers, it will work on the Maker. Be aware that Cricut says using it or any Foil Quill product could void their warranty. My Explore is long out of warranty so I'm not worried but honestly, I can't see what harm it does to the machine. Now that I've used it so much, I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a Maker if I had it. Do what you are comfortable with. It does make using the Quill a WHOLE lot easier!
Yes. Very well but I have the older Brother and the don’t recommend using the board due to depth. I use tape for the Brother to hold it and that’s worked fine.
I’m not 100% sure of your question but you can use any foil piece that is heat and pressure sensitive. It won’t work with deco foil as that needs a glue adhesion. Cricut foils will work with the Foil Quill. Thank you for asking your question.
I used 2” double sided adhesive tape because it was an old mat that wasn’t sticky anymore. If you were to use a newer mat, it would be sticky enough to hold it. I decided to dedicate that mat to the foil quill and have left it that way. Janet
I noticed on the packaging, while you were discussing using a writing tool, that the Brother Scan n Cut SDX was listed but not the CM350. Do you know if it will work with the Scan N Cut 2 (CM350)?
I just ordered a magnetic mat on ebay (seller: Swing Design) for $19.99 (free shipping). Not sure that's a good price or not because had nothing to compare to. Probably get cheaper over time.
Boni - I'm so sorry I didn't notice your question! I really am sorry. I got mine at Swing Design. I noticed today they have them still in stock and the price then was $19.99. You may have found one by now. Again, so sorry I missed your question!! Janet
Freestyle pen came out on 8/13 HSN for a todays special for 4 tips for 59.95 - love your video - love your ice cream stamp on card official use - where did you purchase?
I bought the design drive at Joanne’s. It’s in the Paige Evans Design drive which I love and wouldn’t part with! Thanks for your kind feedback. It’s great to know you got something out of it. 😊
Interesting! I don’t feel it’s a big deal because the bend was on such a small area. Had it been further down, I would have felt differently. I love the mat though!
I also feel the same I AM NOT GOING TO REQUEST ANOTHER i WAS JUST SAYIN THAT MY MAT WAS ALSO TURNED UP IN THE SAME AREA --i HAVE USED MY MAT AND LOVE IT- NO THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL I AGREE PERHAPS JUST AN ERROR WHEN SHIPPED-
Patsy Gamble Sorry. I didn’t mean anything critical toward you. When I read the reply I can see why it may have read that way. Im glad it wasn’t a problem. 😊
You can foil with the Foil Quill without it. The advantage is that you don’t have to mess with tape to hold the foil over your foiling image. The magnets and metal mat hold the foil instead.
Yes. That’ll work. You just need washi or other low tack tape to pull and hold the foil tightly while the tool foils. The mat is definitely optional. Have fun! It’s a satisfying feeling to see a beautiful pattern in foil when you’re done.
i bought the magnetic mat also...I think it works great!!! I find no need to add any magnet to the top...it stays fine with only 3 magnets...I made a very nice unicorn from cricut design space and also words....saves sooo much time without the tape!!!
That's awesome! I agree that's it's faster and just less of a headache without the tape. I am glad to know it holds well enough without a magnet at the top. I just wanted to be sure. Thanks for sharing your experience! Janet
Hi! I'm sorry I didn't notice your comment when I should have. Thanks for visiting and watching. I used these Zig Clear Color markers. Lots of colors and super easy to control. You can add water by brushing on wet paper or by brushing onto a mat and adding water. You can also color without adding water. The color remains more intense that way. These are very popular with card makers. I originally saw them used by others for quite a while before I bought them. I wouldn't part with them now! Here's the Amazon link: amzn.to/32AUokt (Note: this is an affiliate link and I earn a small commission at no cost to you if you purchase using this link.

Thank you! I should have just said UK then because the site name had UK in it. Sorry to forget that the UK is more than England. I have a friend from London who always refers to the UK or Britain so I’ve been lazy in not remembering there are others besides England. My apologies.
Thank you Janet for all the Foil Quill videos that you are sharing. Tons of valuable information and tips.
Elaine
Please can we have a demo on the scan and cut, thanks 🙏🏼
Are you sure instructions say to place magnet on top portion of foil? Good video!
I think you are right that it doesn't say to do that. I just do because it holds even better. It can get in the way of the rollers though so that has to be considered.
Mine came with a bent corner as well used a pliers to flatten using mine freestyle not in my machine which I rarely use
Fortunately the bent corner isn’t a big deal. I like it freestyle too. My latest video demos the freestyle. Thanks my friend!

Thanks for that tip. I have to try it!
Thanks, been watching your card making ! Love it!!!!!
Thank you! So nice of you to tell me! I greatly appreciate you being here too. Janet
Freestyle pen video came out today, I love it!
Yay! I’ll need to give that a try. 😊

I didn't know about the magnetic mat....thanks for sharing the info..
Will you be doing any demo with the Scan N Cut with this mat?
Thanks Terrie. I still plan sometime to do a demo of scanning a stamp and foiling it with the Scan N Cut. I need to get that done! Janet
Great video, thanks for sharing🌟
You’re so welcome! Janet

Have u used the mat on the Cricut maker?
I don't have the Maker. I have used it on the Cricut Explore. Per WeRMemory Keepers, it will work on the Maker. Be aware that Cricut says using it or any Foil Quill product could void their warranty.

Ooh how exciting. I'm in the UK. I can't find this freestyle pen thingy anywhere
It is not available yet in the US. It will probably be several months before it is widely available.
Great demo! Do the magnets hold well enough to use fill feature on brother scan n cut?
Yes. Very well but I have the older Brother and the don’t recommend using the board due to depth. I use tape for the Brother to hold it and that’s worked fine.
SE PUEDE UTILIZAR CON LA BROTHER SCANNCUT ?
Can you just use the foil piece that is usually used with the cricut?
I’m not 100% sure of your question but you can use any foil piece that is heat and pressure sensitive. It won’t work with deco foil as that needs a glue adhesion. Cricut foils will work with the Foil Quill. Thank you for asking your question.
The foil transfer tip that fits in position A on a cricut air 2, can this magnetic mat be used with that foil tip?
Yes. That works. No problem using the magnetic mat with any Cricut including the Air 2.
How did you adhere the two mats together?
I used 2” double sided adhesive tape because it was an old mat that wasn’t sticky anymore. If you were to use a newer mat, it would be sticky enough to hold it. I decided to dedicate that mat to the foil quill and have left it that way. Janet
Thank you. Good idea, 😊
I noticed on the packaging, while you were discussing using a writing tool, that the Brother Scan n Cut SDX was listed but not the CM350. Do you know if it will work with the Scan N Cut 2 (CM350)?
I'll take another look at the packaging. I do know the foil quill itself works on my CM350.
I just searched WeR and they don’t show magnetic mat for sale. Where did you buy yours?
BONI I KNOW ITS TUFF TO FIND AS THE QUILL CAME OUT A LITTLE WHILE AGO I BELIEVE THAT MAT IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS JOANN.COM
I just ordered a magnetic mat on ebay (seller: Swing Design) for $19.99 (free shipping). Not sure that's a good price or not because had nothing to compare to. Probably get cheaper over time.

Does anyone know if this works with the cameo 2?
Can you do this without the magnetic mat? 😅
You can foil with the Foil Quill without it. The advantage is that you don’t have to mess with tape to hold the foil over your foiling image. The magnets and metal mat hold the foil instead.
@@SugarShineDesigns Thanks for explaining. I'll buy the mat later and just start with only the foil and the foil pen tingy 😅
Yes. That’ll work. You just need washi or other low tack tape to pull and hold the foil tightly while the tool foils. The mat is definitely optional. Have fun! It’s a satisfying feeling to see a beautiful pattern in foil when you’re done.

Got mine off amazon
I have all 4 freestyle pens
Do you like them? I’m really curious about the calligraphy one. I have them now too but haven’t used them yet.
@@SugarShineDesigns yes!!!
@@SugarShineDesigns I'm going to be doing a live demo later
The SAVVY CRAFTER I subscribed so I will watch. Thanks!
SugarShine Designs I’m charging the power banks now bought 4 so I can be really free to craft
Can I just highlight that. The UK and England are not the same . England is only part of the UK. Thanks
Thank you! I should have just said UK then because the site name had UK in it. Sorry to forget that the UK is more than England. I have a friend from London who always refers to the UK or Britain so I’ve been lazy in not remembering there are others besides England. My apologies.
