HF's cutting blades don't work for me, but there are some items great for quilters such as magnetic bowls for holding straight pins, plastic storage boxes perfect for holding machine feet, telescoping mirrors and magnets, and so on. I am not fond of the strong smell ...not sure where it is coming from, so I keep my visits short, lol.

When I first started buying them several years ago, they worked pretty good. I was so happy to find some blades that saved me money. Then about a year ago I got ahold of a bad bunch that skipped worse than any of my old blades. I bought 10 packs the last time so I am just stuck with 20 blades that I can't use. I still thought it was just a bad bunch until I started hearing about so many of our board members with the same complaint. Needless to say that I won't be buying any more of them! lol

I would get the whole package with defective blades...my husband would keep buying them (bless his heart) for me. I would struggle with them, then got fed up, switched over to my cutter with a new Olfa blade. Like night and day, what a difference smooth cutting made. I won't go back to the HF blades ever.

Minibarn - I've been trying to find these glue,pens for a few years and have been unsuccessful. I don't really need a case of 48 packages though😄😄. I'm going to go to my local Dollar Tree tomorrow and see if they have the single,packages in the store. They just make life easier for,appliqué, bindings, etc.

Mininarn - me again😄😄. There is,no store delivery,on the glue,pens which leads me to,believe they don't have the, in the store. BUT---- I went to my,old standby Amazon and there they were---- either 4 packages or 2 packages. I,got the 4 packages and free shipping because I have Prime. I can share these with the members of my small,hand appliqué group as a little giftie!!! Thanks for the heads up and the reminder!!!
