grip wheels remove foil surface of paper

Aargh!! Does anyone have any tips for cutting 2-sided foil paper? Wherever the grip wheels roll over the foil it removes the foil and leaves behind the track pattern of the grip wheel. Very frustrating (and expensive!).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Are you using a mat? If not then my solution won't work........

If you are and the adhesive isn't pulling the foil off, the just put your pinch wheels on the outer edges of your mat so it's not on the foil. As long as it is well adhered to the mat, you don't have to have the pinch wheels on your material, in fact most of us cut that way unless we need them to hold thicker material in place......

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, I was using a mat - my 26X26 mat and 2-sided foil wrapping paper. (I'm making giant-sized honeycomb ornaments.) In my excitement to cut 21 giant shapes at once, I temporarily forgot. I thought I should ask if there was something I'm missing just in case. Thank you.

How fun! I would love to see photos, too. (I just pinned a few honeycomb style ornaments this morning.)
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
