Canadian quilters
Has anyone ordered rotary blades from Amazon Canada. I need new blades my source has dried up. Just went to LQS a pkg. of 2 blades was $32.98. They only carry Olfa. I won't pay that much, hopefully. LOL.

Sorry, can't help you out on this one!
WOW ... talk about pricey!
I know they have gone up, but that seems over the top.
I did buy some before Christmas at Michael's ... forget the price.
But with one of their 50% off coupons, I know it sure made a difference.
Looks like I better make a habit of nabbing them with Michael's coupons
and keep my blade stash replenished!

I haven't tried Amazon; seems like a gamble for generic blames of unknown quality. I mostly order them from Connecting Threads when they have a sale (either Martelli or Clover brand). Michael's with a coupon is my fallback choice.

Beats having to separate those sharp blades. I will definitely place an order.

Amazon.ca has a pkg of 10 for $23.99 carbide steel. Here is the link https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01HG0O4L2?psc=1
Precision Cutting Tools is the seller & there is a money back guarantee. I think I will place an order as it's worth trying them as they are only $2.40/blade. Even if they cut only half as much as Olfa or Clover it is still less expensive.
