    Thanks, everyone! Of course, I must have two blades in it. I would never have figured it out without your help.

    I like the Harbor Freight ones. Inexpensive and great quality. Plus there's 2 in a package so it's really easy to tell if you tried to put 2 on the cutter :D

    You have 2 blades together... I did the same thing one time... they're so thin you don't notice until that hapens. :)

    Think how much more they'd cost if they were packaged individually! Have you bought any from Harbor Freight? Awesome value at 2 for $1.99.
    Nope. But I'm off to check them out now - thanks! :D

    More than one blade in the cutter - done it.. makes lots of slivers of fabric. They stick together because they oil them.
