    I am going to try the new ones, the last few I bought would not cut fabric and I use to use them all the time. They are getting ready to open a new store very close to me, I am really looking forward to it as I find all kinds of things in there that are so much more expensive in the quilt store. I recently picked up a metal T square ruler that I just love for squaring my quilts .

    That's too funny. I was at Harbor Freight this weekend and noticed the spring clips and blades next to a little sewing box!

    It is good if they work. I have never got a blade from Harbor Freight that cut worth a darn .Maybe they changed them..

    I like their blades & resharpen just fine. Also have not had a problem with them fitting any of my cutter handles.

    Uh oh, they are on to us. Just so they don't jack up the price.

    In my opinion, this debate is on a par with the Wal-Mart fabric one. Love/hate and never-ending. Put me in the love column.

    Regardless of your position on the issue, the change in packaging certainly speaks to the power of the quilters' dollar.

    Have they improved any? When I tried them they were awful. I still have quite a few
    left. I had ordered online, just didn't send them back.
