I used the blade in the carpet cutter first. There was only 1 extra blade, so thought someone had stolen the other. It skipped like crazy. I had to go over the edge 4 - 5 times in order for it to cut 2 pieces of material.

I exchanged the blade, thinking maybe someone had also put an old blade in the package when they stole the original.
I used a brand new package and it did the same thing. I don't know if I am having a run of bad luck or what, but I'll keep to the other blades for now.

Although these are a lot cheaper, I don't want to waste any more fabric!

Hope everyone else has better luck than I did!
