Has anyone heard or tried this, nothing to loose if your blades are no longer sharp!

Hello from Texas. I have used this method many times. The blades are sharp but they don't last very long. You will have to sharpen then again. A lot depends on the fabric you cut and thickness. Using the aluminum foil beats buying many blades. I purchase blades online in bulk, 10 per pack (sometimes more). Enjoy using foil to extend the length of using your blades. By the way, have you removed the blade from the cutter and turned the blade over then installing it back into the cutter? This also works. God bless you.
