I have read post in the past that some of you ladies find rotary blades at Harbor Frieght that are cheaper that buying at quilting store. What dept do you find them in? I asked at our Harbor Freight and was directed to saw blades but found nothing. They were having a sale and the clerks were swamped and didn't have time to show me exactly where they were.

They are with the carpet installing tools. I had to ask too.

If your store is out of the blades, like mine seems to always be, you can buy the actual carpet cutters for $3.99 and they come with three blades. I've bought two of those, taken the blades out(one is in the cutter) and then thrown the cutter away.

They may be with the cutting inpliments like exacto knives.

Thanks for the tip about the rotary blades. Looks like I'll be heading to Harbor Freight this afternoon!

A friend called me about my post last week concerning Martelli 45mm rotary cutter. She asked if I had REALLY cut thro 15 layers of flannel.....I said, what? Then read my post.....ouch....that was a flagrant typo....5 layers is what I meant. I'm sure you all think I'm insane. Sorry.

make sure you bring your coupon for free flashlight....my husband gets them all the time.

They are called Carpet Replacement Blades. :)

No not insane. We just WANT THAT CUTTER. LOL
