Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth on HF blades. I bought 6 packages the other day at the store an hour away from me. I noticed on the shelf they were advertised at $1.50 for package of 2. So I bought 6 thinking that would get me through the next two years. I paid and told the guy that I left 2 on the shelf. When I got home, I looked at my receipt and noticed that they rang up as $1.99 instead of $1.50. It is my fault for chatting at the register and not paying atention to the actual price on the receipt before I signed. Just wanted to let you know so you won't make the same mistake. I tried one and it seems just as good as the high priced one I bought in fabric store some time ago. I see they are both manufactured in China so probably come from the same source-in my opinion.
