I have been using the Foil Quill heat pens by We R Memory Keepers in my Cricut machine but now Cricut have released a foil transfer system that is fully integrated with Cricut Design Space!! I really want to compare the systems and this is my first video doing just that. In this video I make a foil project in Cricut Design Space; show step by step how to make the foil project using the Cricut Transfer tool in my Cricut Explore Air 2; show how to use the Foil Quill pens from We R Memory Keepers and show step by step how to make the project using the Foil Quill system; I then compare results of the same project using the 2 different foiling systems.
If you don't have time to watch it all I have bookmarks below so you can skip to the section you want to see.

I'm keen to test both systems on more base materials and will do this for a future video. Please let me know if there's any material you'd especially like to see in that video :)
I bought the Cricut Foil Transfer kit at Spotlight in New Zealand. It's RRP is NZ$95. In the US it's RRP is $39.99. Foil packs in 4x6 and 12x12 inch sizes are available as separate purchases.
I bought the We R Memory Keepers All in One Foil Quill kit over a year ago. It's currently NZ$120 at Spotlight and in the US it looks like it's current RRP is US$99.99. Foil packs are available as separate purchases.

I purchased a metal, We are memoire keepers metal mat that goes on top of the cricut mat. You use magnets to hold paper and foil down. Keeps foil very flat. And does not leave any missing spots when foil is transferred. Works perfectly. I purchased this mat from Joannes on clearance for $10

Thanks Donna, I have the magnetic mat too but still need to use it. I'll definitely give it a try to see if it gets the foil smooth for me. Thanks!

I'm SO glad I stumbled across this before I purchased the We R Memory foil transfer kit! I had no idea that Cricut had a transfer adaptor, so now that I know, I will be ordering the Cricut one! Thanks!! Very informative!

Hello, thank you for this demonstration. I was gifted the foil quill and did not know how to use it. Now that you have compared Cricuit Foil to the Foil Quill. I will invest in the Cricuit. Thanks

@lesliev7874 3 года назад

Excellent comparison. I have the WMC foil quill, but think I will invest in the Cricut tool.

Thanks for the video. Have you considered changing the number of time the foil quill draws an image? That might make a difference.

@itsycrafty 3 года назад

Hi, thanks for the idea. I can try this but it does look like the foil of the design has been removed from the section of foil. I hope I've explained that - but when I hold the foil up the whole pattern seems to be removed so maybe it's dragged a bit and skipped and I need to try even harder to have the foil completely pond like smooth. Thanks for the tip though, I will give it a go :)

Leathers need hotness and pressure at the same time, therefore, do you think it is possible that the Foil Quill system can be used in the pressure holding of the machine? (I'm a bookbinder and so if I buy this I need it to simulate the hot foil stamping that we do on the books). Do you think that it can work on goat leather? Can you produce a stamping with 34 pt Times New Roman fonts? Thanks

There are handheld versions of the foil quills available now, including one with a calligraphy tip. You could use them freehand or use stencils.

That’s lovely to hear, thank you 😀

Hi any reason why the creasing tool wouldn't work? Is there anything special about this new cricut attachment?

@itsycrafty 3 года назад

Hi, do you mean the scoring tool? It fits in clamp A and I don't think it would have enough pressure to apply the foil as it struggles to even score for me quite often. This foil tool has been designed to use in clamp B where enough pressure can be applied to transfer the foil from the sheet to the material below. The size of the tips mean the line transferred can be 3 different thicknesses. I hope this answers your question :)

I tried to use the foil kit but it’s coming out looking faded

@ritas6972 3 года назад

Thanks for a fantastic review

@punkidunk 2 года назад

Can you please tell me what brands of foil that you used with which tool please?

@TheKazadoodle 3 года назад

Nothing to add, just thanks for the lovely Kiwi accent - from an Aussie :D Eh, I do have something to add - it seems that both systems are faulty. Literally hoping that the Circut Joy foil transfer system is better but ... maybe not?

@melval1376 3 года назад

thanks for the great demonstration! And I have the same question as Katerina, anyone knows?

@charlottewilliams754 3 года назад

There is a reason to let the WRMK Tips heat for 5 minute. The foil is a HEAT transfer and the warmer the tip the better the transfer. so the skipping was due to that. So not really a valid comparision.

@itsycrafty 3 года назад

Sorry I’m a bit confused as I always wait 5 minutes to preheat the tips of my We R Memory Keepers foil quill tips. I even put a timer on for this test. I’ll rewatch to make sure I make that clear in the video. Thanks for your feedback.

@itsycrafty 3 года назад

Hi, just rewatched and at 13:33 I say the pens have to preheated for 5 minutes before you use them. Sorry if you missed that but I definitely preheated them before my test.

@charlottewilliams754 3 года назад

Yes, you are correct, Sorry I missed that. I just saw you putting the quills in one after the other and missed the part near the beginning where you were heating them all at the same time.
