I've been to 2 different HF and found blades at both. I'm using them for cutting fleece at the moment. Has anyone found sometimes a blade is bad at the very start. I've had to throw 2 away so far but for 99 cents each that's still not a bad way to go for blades. I haven't bought "quilting blades" in a while so forgot just how expensive they were. At Hancock's a package of 5, 24.95. I've never paid that because I waited for the half off sales. With HF I don't have to wait for a sale. "HAPPY QUILTING"
