Blades from Harbor Freight
I was so excited to try those blades for my rotary cutter from Harbor Freight. My husband goes there all the time and really likes the store. So he bought me 4 packs of them. I finally put one in last nite. Oh my gosh! They were terrible. I thought maybe it was my cutter so I tried them in another cutter. And the same thing.......they skipped and just did not cut properly. My dull blade I was replacing worked better than the new one. So this morning I took them back to the store. They were so nice and did not hesitate at all about giving me a store credit as my husband did not save the receipt. I can't understand how some quilters said they worked so good. I tried mine in my Olfa cutters. Did they have different cutters???

I think the reviews are mixed. so many of us are having no problems with them, and then there are many who are. One suggestion made was to make sure there is only one blade in the cutter. But this may not be the issue. I've used several and so far no problems, so time will tell.

I bought them and tried them just this weekend and it was horrible ! i've decided I will pay for the more expensive replacement blades and be done with it. I've now got two packages replacements, don't have a receipt and certainly don't need a store credit !
It might be one of those things that works sometimes and doesn't others.....I just don't have the patience to deal with it right now.
