I used the HF blades one time and they were okay but did not sit in the handle firmly, so do not use them. Need to get a good sharpener for the blades.
Just received 5 hard back quilting books from 1985 yesterday evening as a belated Christmas gift from my daughter's in-laws. We are all friends and exchange simple gifts at Christmas time. They are nice books and will be great reference for later.
Today is my youngest grandson's 5th birthday. Have to go wrap his gift. A big firetruck with several figures and a DVD. Hope he likes it. I need to get back to his quilt. Fortunately it is not going to be a gift.
