*PLEASE NOTE* : After I recorded this video, I learned that many Foil Quill users are getting great results with much lower speed and pressure settings ( generally in the 3 to 5 range for both) than the default material settings that I've been starting with, so be sure to experiement to see which settings work best for you. Also, here's a link to a very helpful Facebook group for the Foil Quill for Silhouette users (lots of experimentation and good information being shared here) : facebook.com/groups/foilquillsilhouette/
Hannah Wong - Yes, like MrsB8T said, I used the internal offset option for these fills. More recently, I've tried a new fill method that's giving me much, much better foiled results with the Foil Quill on filled designs. Here's a link to a video with a tutorial for the technique : ruclips.net/video/LCsd5DHEjL4/видео.html
Dura-Lar wins! Sure. I appreciate your thoroughness in testing, but, really, Dura-Lar is a ringer. "Then along came Dura-Lar, and it rules us all." Actually, vellum is a close second, and I don't think it's a coincidence it's used to print diplomas and other display-worthy items.
Well, you know that I love my Dura-Lar. ;) The results on both the Dura-Lar and vellum were great, but Dura-Lar's smoothness put it a little bit ahead in the crisp results department.

Hi there, thank you for the video! Just wanted to find out, how do you do the filled design?
Hannah Wong use the internal offset & repeat for each new line until filled in
