GOLD FOILING LEATHER with the CRICUT? Foil Quill vs Cricut Foil Kit

[@themotherspassport4458]

Thank you for taking the time to do this

[@remusgrrrl]

Heck, I just bought something from you on etsy and was randomly recommended your channel on YT. What a coincidence. Like your cricut videos.

[@CatherineSwetnam-lk2zp]

Thanks! you saved me! I had just ordered oil tanned leather, I was able to cancel and switch to Veggie tanned.

[@luannemalnory7426]

I haven't gotten the same results with Quill that you have on the veg tan. Couple of questions:1) Did you just leave the setting as "pen" , or did you tell Maker3 it was a marker, or calligraphy, or something else? 2) Did you choose a different pressure? 3) Did you use the standard (not fine or bold) for all the ones you made? Straight lines look good, but long arcs are not foiling.

You are a trip to watch :) Thank you for being you ❤

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

Wow, thank you! Appreciate this.

[@samuelvital9145]

A possible idea for a follow up might be how long the foil quill veg tan leather holds up on its own vs with a protective finish such as resolene! As always love your videos!

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

That's great. Will try to so that some time. Thanks for watching and commenting Samuel!

[@charlinda-byrd]

I like you! You're so much fun - thank you! And I'm curious as to how you came about using "Springbok" as a company name as I'm a native South African and a BIG fan of the Springbok-Everything! Especially our rugby team :)

[@misoman]

Good to know! Thanks for doing all these tests!

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Appreciate it.

[@caitlinreum100]

I live in Maine and have some family in Nova Scotia. We made the drive a few times when I was a kid and it was 10 hours. And I thought that was bad lol

[@KristinLindner-t1s]

This is so helpful, thank you! Have you ever tried this on PU (faux) leather?

[@umbertostefanini1915]

Awesome video! I've been wondering about a good way to get foil on leather without a dedicated machine, and now all my questions are answered. Thanks!

[@tazmoretti790]

Awesome! I’ve been experimenting with these options at home. And quickly had to look to other foiling methods for leather. Can you please make a video showing how you use the Quill in the A clamp? Cricut wants the foiling tool to be loaded in the B clamp and the design gets screwy.

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

You have to take the pen adapter out of clamp A and then insert the Foil Quill with the correct adapter. And you basically push it in as far as it goes and then close the clamp. When you're in design space, you treat the foil quill as a pen as opposed to the 'foil option' and you basically just use it as if it were a pen.

[@tazmoretti790]

@@SpringbokCraftCo oh that makes perfect sense! Thank you!!!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

This was such a good video!

[@jk_sewingjamila1001]

thank you for doing this for us i was thinking to get the cricut one i already have the wrm hot foil kit after watching this i will not be getting the cricut one but however i can see another use for the cricut one it seemed to do a good job of embossing the leather so there is another use for it

[@azhra87]

I wonder how well either would work after dyeing the veg tan

[@bespokeglasses]

Thank you!

[@shawnaspence7477]

I Love your personality lol new Subbbb

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

THANKS SHAWNA!

[@gordparrott9640]

Did you "case" the leather first? That is, did you wet it down before etching?

[@denbid]

you are AWESOME. Great information

[@sondravaxmonsky7047]

Wow! Just came across your videos! Ty also

[@crackerjack010101]

So since the Cricut foiling kit is a bust how about trying it out as a debossing tool since their debossing tool wasn’t super great.

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

not a bad idea to try!

[@Negraferm1]

Thanks for this video. Before I found it, had just finished a project using foil on leather - can barely see the design :(

[@denisejohnston6243]

Now I had a perfect transfer of the cricut, skipped part on foil quill

[@rajendralimbu1556]

Hey there. Does it wash away/peel off when washed? I am planing to use it in leather(logo stamp) in a bag that will be washed

[@Daemonforce-Gaming]

i use clear perspex on top of foil to keep flat while taping

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

great tip!

[@laurawbingham]

You're hilarious! I love watching your videos! :)

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

thanks so much!! that means a lot!

[@andresbejarano1834]

Hi, great video. I just bought the medium foil quill and I was wondering when turning my design to draw in design space what mm size should I put in the draw section?

[@johnnywarbo]

Hi, can you let me know what settings on the Cricut you used? I can't seem to use foil on the leather setting. Thanks in advance for your time

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

I used the pen option!

[@iknownothing-49]

What about the htv gold foil

[@JLeighBralick]

So I just bought a brand new Foil Quill to use with my new Maker...opened it up, got a nice smooth piece of leather taped down, taped the foil over it beautifully, and tried to create a foil design with the fine tip. The tip ripped the foil...repeatedly. I tried again using "less" pressure and it still ripped. What am I doing wrong? It's not like the tool was overheated or covered in residue. Is my design too small? My Cricut foil system had no problem creating that exact design on a piece of card stock. I'm using the "Kraft Board" as the material setting...should I use something else? It's not a thick piece of leather but it's not like...glove thin either. Probably 2mm. Argh, sorry for all the questions, I'm just so frustrated!

[@traceybartlam7737]

It’s probably too thick. The Foil Quill is not meant to be used with the cricut - it actually invalidates the warranty if cricut find out so there won’t be an appropriate setting for such thick material - your machine won’t have a clue what pressure to use. I do like the Foil Quill results but like that the Cricut system partially ejects the mat which makes it much easier to take off foil before cutting

[@JoanneFayeArt]

Hi! Thank you for this video! I'm just interested if leather hot stamping foils can be used with the We are Memory keepers foil quills?

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

the ones I used work

[@Tra_World]

Intro:🗣👂🏾💀👂🏾

[@mattsmith1737]

Will the foil Quil void the cricket warranty?

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

I think so, so it's ideal for after that warranty period ends.

[@joablevytam]

What do you mean you would not recommend any foiling tool on chrome-tanned leather? You just need to use a real foiling press and not these craft kit things.

[@SpringbokCraftCo]

Yep! I just don't recommend it on the Cricut. But a foil press works great.

[@andreatthatsme]

Cricut and silhouette are the worst. Think outside the box. There are companies making machines that you don't have to buy a new one every 9 months to a year. My sizzix eclipse2 is a good machine. They stopped making it but it also didn't require changes like these two brands.

[@theguitarpicker]

How did you get the masking tape off the mat? I've used blue painters tape with no problem but the masking tape is like having a kid who won't leave home even after 40 years.
