I finally found a good use for those nicked and/or dull cutters. I'm using mine to cut craft foam for VBS crafts. Didn't realise how easy it would be to use. Mostly long cuts, no small things. Just thought I'd pass this on, I'm probably the only one who didn't know.

Thanks for the tip. I will save mine from now on.

I found a rotary cutter blade sharpener. Bought it and got home and sharpened my rotary blades. Very nice and simple to do. You can get it at any fabric shop

Which brand of sharpener do you have?

Me too. I have one from Joann's and can't get the darn thing to sharpen anything!!

Has anyone tried that new sharpener Nancy's Notions has that you don't even need to take the blade out of the handle to sharpen? It looks neat but does it work?

Yes, please let us know. I bought a scissor sharpener which only made matters worse and I ended up buying new scissors. A blade sharpender that works would be a great, although even blades have a life span.

I bought a Fiskars scissors sharpener (on the advice of the fabric sales associate that I trust) and I tried it on my cheap $0.99 scissors -- actually several and it works wonderfully. I got my at Walmart and paid less than $8 for it. It is very easy to use.

sorry taking so long to get back with everyone. It is called "Twist 'n Sharp". It is a duel rotary blade sharpener by Colonial. I bought mine at Hancocks. You can go online also: www.colonialneedle.com I haven't gone online to check it out. hope this helps
