Foil Quill

[Helena V]

One thing to remember is to remove the metal mat protector BEFORE you set the machine off to draw!
The fine tip needs minimal force or it tears the foil.
I am using the foil quill on an origional cameo and running a version 3 of the software on an old computer and so have had to learn how to fill in a design which is an "interesting "learning curve.My main problem was to achieve adequate tension on the foil when foiling accross 8.7x11card.
Remembering to site designs at the bottom of the mat so a quick peek could show when to repeat the "cut" if an area had not foiled...I need a new cutting strip as mine is worn out and this gives patchy cuts.
What is the verdict on the proposed magnetic mats for the foil quill?
