Product Information

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. 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 The Foil Quill uses the heated tip to draw over a sheet of foil and transfer that foil to your project. What’s Included in the Foil Quill Box? 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.

If your machine has a USB power source, you can also use that, though machine manufacturers do not recommend it.
