Anyway i had to bite the bullet and buy one from joannes. $6.95 ouch. oh well what can we do, what can we do.
My Mom gave me a blade sharpener and it does seem to work ok, no complaints yet. Also someone wrote in here once that if you just flip the blade you still have the other side to cut with. Makes perfect sense to me. I'll just keep cutting with what I have til I can't cut any more and then I'll check and see, unless Harbor gets them in and if they do, at that point, I will still get them for $1.49 a two-pack!
I am going to be spending most of the day picking up branches, mowing up leaves. We had a doozie of a storm last night. Actually, I have been awake since 1:00 AM, couldn't get back to sleep, so I have been quilting away and listening to a really good book - "Rhett Butler's People". Edie
