As I type this, my DD is purchasing the last 4 from another HF store, again with a coupon. I'm thinking of surprising my Bee with a package for each of the 6 members. We'll have to check out the longevity of the blades. Hopefully they last as long (or even longer) than the regular rotary cutter blades. Again, thanks to the sharp eyed QB Quilter who found this treasure. Belles
When I told my DH about the blades, he commented that HF
sells CHEAP merchandise - and people who shop there regularly know this, and don't expect things to last a long time. But it is a great place for buying gadgets and general supplies.
