This sounds like a thread just before this one about fabric. People can and do ITCH and complain about anything. This topic as well as the fabric one has been kicked around for months and months and has been complained about and praised. First of all, there are many products that are not just for a single type use. These are made for cutting carpet. There is no reason to not expect these blades to cut fabric. Have you ever cut carpet? They are sharp enough to cut fabric as well. If you got a bunch of blades that don't cut. maybe YOU got them in backward or maybe they are defective. Many people have returned the blades and got a refund or replacement. If you haven't done even the minimum then why are you whining? You would return a sewing machine that didn't work properly. If you don't wish to return them and CHOOSE not to use them, then buy the expensive blades and use them. YOU are the one paying for them, same as with LQS material. THOSE ARE YOUR CHOICES BUT DON'T TRY TO FORCE THEM ON EVERY ONE ELSE. We may all express our opinions. Simple statements with out bashing. This board is difficult now without conflict. If you use HF and Walmart fabric and it is all you can afford, bless you. You will still have a lovely product and your family will still cherish and love you just because it you made it. If you use OLFA or other brand,and LQS fabric bless you too, because your family will also cherish and love you for it. Aren't quilts made because we want to make something for ourselves and others? Because we want to practice a craft that means something to us and we want to pass them along? My mother made quilts because she wanted us to be warm. She did make a couple, one a wedding ring, because it was beautiful. She, and all the other older ladies who quilted made them out of whatever they had and could afford. They are still around. I hope we can make them because of love too.
