Its worth mentioning that for Cameo 4 the manual mentioned you should use adapter A, however the adapter D is the correct one.

Great tutorial. You make everything so easy to understand. I love all of your tutorials. Thanks very much.

[@marie-josee-bouliane]

I can't believe that I learned something new apart from this technique ! In the Send panel, selecting the parts to cut or not cut ! That was a pain for me to get things cut or sketched the way I wanted to ! You are truly a Silhouette Fairy ! Merci !

Hi great tutorial. Do you have a bundle for weddings? Like evening invitation Thank you

[@karenholt646]

Hello, great tutorial! Do you have to get specific font type to use with foil pen? And can you use on metallic cardstock? thanks

[@RandomAs77]

I haven’t had any luck using my foil quill. Just tore up my foil or had all the lines from the fill settings all through it. Like I used the swirls to infill and it’s all you can see is heaps of fine lines like a fingerprint. My force was in super low too. Definitely didn’t turn out even 1/4 as good as your beautiful card

[@vegasgal47]

Thanks! You're video was very clear on how to do this. I was curious on what Foil Quill was. Now I definitely will try it. Where can I get the bundle of sayings you used?

Just what ive been looking to do, your videos are absolutely informative and just to the point, thank you. Where can i get the quilling tool from and what is it called. Can i just use the heat foil like i would to laser print then laminate? Thanks

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Tahra! You can purchase the Foil Quill from Amazon or locally in most major craft stores (I know JoAnn Fabric carries them). I don't believe you can use the same DecoFoil like you would with a laser printer, I have heard that there is something different about this type of foil for it to work with the Foil Quill. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@reginagraham6539]

I love your tutorials! Have you ever tried it on faux leather?

[@smtoxiclove840]

i have a question can you do custom designs for the foil quilling or only use the ones premade?

[@Angelika5378]

Hey, Would that setup work with the cameo 5 too? The 5 has foil pens but only 2 sizes and they are a bit more expensive that the memory keepers one

[@joysuni82]

Hi, will it work on synthetic leather instead of cardstock?

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

Can I use this bundle to create my card in design space and use cricut foil tool? I do have the silhouette studio business edition. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@cassandrareed5959]

Hey Becky, I watched the video twice but didn’t see how you got your scoring line into the card. Did the ratchet blade do this?

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Cassandra! Yes, the blade cuts a perforated line that serves as a fold line. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@krystle0b]

Hello and thank you for all your videos. I have learned 99% of what I know from you and the other one from the silhouette offered videos! I just got the foil quill set for my birthday and I'm super excited to dive in! I got the magnetic mat too but Cameo 4 isn't listed on it only 3.. could this just be that it's older and the 4 wasn't out yet and it will still work for me? please say yes lol here's hoping!

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Krystal! Yes! I don't believe the Cameo 4 was out yet when the Foil Quill released, or maybe it was just too new to be included in the Foil Quill instructions. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@monicapedrido1396]

Is this good for foiled portraits? which tip should I buy? The bold, standard or fine tip?

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Monica! I haven't used the foil quill for portraits yet, but it makes me think you would need the fine tip for detail work. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@AKsStarryNight]

Hi help pla. The tip seems to not reach the foil its not creating those line marks thus my foil not printing on the cardstock I have a cameo 4 I used the regular tip

[@maliniinpanathan9452]

Is it possible to draw something, and then make the cameo 4 cut it? If I drew a heart, crown, clown or what ever, is it possible?

[@andibazaroff1087]

Hi! I just found your video for the first time and no its older so im not sure if youll respond, but have you ever used the foil quill on glossy paper? I'm trying to add foil to a dust jacket but am scared it won't adhear to the glossy texture. Thanks!

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Andi! We have never tried this ourselves so I can't say for certain. I also tried to do some research but it seems like there is no answer for that. I also feel that it might not stick but it would need a little test for sure. - Agata

Can I make this with acrylic foil ? I’ want to make acrylic invitations but not sure if it can be done with silhouette?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Ruby! You can transfer metallic foil onto project surfaces with the Silhouette and your embossing tool. - Dawn

[@FLCindy]

I recently emailed Silhouette asking about the Foil Quill since there was no USB port, but hadn't heard back from them at all, which was/is disappointing. So I greatly appreciate your posting this video. I'm also glad I purchased the charger when I bought the Quill. Can you use the metal plate with the magnets with the Silhouette 4? I could have sworn it was shown being used when I purchased the Foil Quill and the metal plate/mat. I'm so close to have my crafting area reorganized and cleaned up where I can actually get the Silhouette 4 (still using the 2nd generation Silhouette) out of the box, after about a year, and start using it. Another question is if you can't use the quill in the 2nd slot and leave the blade in the first slot. If not, what is the purpose of having 2 slots? The Silhouette I use now only has 1 slot and I thought I needed 2 slots for the Quill. Thank you in advance for any answers you can give me.

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Cindy, I'll be honest, I tried this when working on the video. It didn't work for me but I didn't have a chance yet to research why. I know that Carriage 2 is intended for the new Rotary blade, Kraft blade etc. but don't know if that has any bearing on it, I haven't used Carriage 2 yet. BUT I have a video coming up on all the blades for the Cameo 4, so I will try to address this in that video. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@FLCindy]

@@DesignBundles Thank you! Looking forward to the upcoming video on all the blades for the Cameo 4...some of them are so hard to find (never available) in the Silhouette store.

This was created with a Silhouette Cameo and a foil quill set 🙂

[@kiersoriano3310]

Hi Ms. Becky. Did you use the default speed and force? Tried it, but it did not fill the whole text/image. :(

[@DesignBundles]

I did Kier, but you do have to make sure you are using a design that is set up for sketch pens (single line designs like this one work great). Regular designs will only draw where the machine would normally cut. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@KP-nx8lo]

Can this be used with the portrait 3 as well?

[@DesignBundles]

Yes but you will need the correct adapter.

[@ADPalasathena]

Hi Ms Becky, thanks for the video! Might I ask, is the paper thickness matters? I've been struggling to transfer the design into the paper, it almost as if the tip of the foilquill only gracing the paper. The result is thin and uneven. I even tried the max force level and no improvement there. I'm using 135gsm card stock, adaptor D, medium tip quill, action "sketch", and "pen" as tools (I cant seem to see the "pen holder" tools, maybe we're using different version of the silhouette studio? Mine is 4.4 basic 🤔) I'm scratching my head in frustration. The issue is not on the foil, it transfers perfectly when I do it manually. It really looks like the quill tip simply does not reach the paper enough... any advise on how to mitigate this?

[@fannyzonca916]

Hi Anneta, I have exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution ?

[@ADPalasathena]

@fanny yes as a matter of fact I did kinda solve it by changing the mat (from standard silhouette mat) into Cricut’s thicker ones. Layering the media also helps, anything that raised the paper thickness really…

[@keepthebasicshop]

hi. can use for faux leather? thx

[@DesignBundles]

@@FLCindy No worries, I'm still going to paste this under your question in case any future viewers stumble upon it. Thanks!! ---Becky

[@krystle0b]

@@DesignBundles I have done a little research on this with using carriage 2. I have used it once to cut some chip board. From what I understand it's intended for those blades because it has more pressure. The force goes beyond 33 and that's why it's used with the more heavy duty tools and were stuck swapping attachments between the first one all the time. I'm hoping in the future Silhouette can take this into consideration when designing :) hope this helps.

[@SammyHeredia]

Can you use this for stickers?

[@DesignBundles]

With the Cricut transfer tool you are now able to add foiling to anything, including stickers! - Dawn 🙂

[@daraphillips9640]

One thing... the settings were not mentioned...

[@lilSapphireFox]

I broke my tip first try ;_; I followed your tutorial, but the adapter D combined with the pressure of the sketch option didnt mix well and it basically tried to engrave the design (even though i was gentle, and set up half the pressure to try...) into the card boar, i had literal scratches in the paper. Now no amount of pressure will reach the foil, i am so sad... Y_Y

[@lalunesong]

Hi I have a question, let say you have a hundred of cards to produce a day, which tools is better in terms of cost and durability, minc laminator or quill foil? Thanks in advance :)

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Helena, as long as you have a laser printer, I would use the laminator method (doesn't have to be Minc brand). It would be a million times faster for sure. The foil quill takes a long time to fill in images unless you are just using single line designs. Hope this helps! ---Becky
