those fabrics are so vintage looking love it!

I just put a new blade in my cutter. OMG why did I wait so long? (cheap). it just zooms right through. last one I put in was right at the begging of the last boom over 50 blocks cut, several wall hangings and tablerunners, and a mystery quilt with one blade. it kept nicking and argh not finishing gave up and changed it yesterday. wish I had done it in say Nov.! Jaba has a blade sharpener. she uses it for her 45mm blades. I use a 60 mm should I get a smaller cutter what say you guys? I mean it works good its the only kind I have ever had. actually its like over 10 yrs old. survey says?

oh old mats should line the dumpster. I had mine til it warped and was so bad I tried fixing it in a bath of hot water and ironing it and all the suggestions you find online. I gave up. it was so bad. lesson: DO NOT KEEP THEM IN THE CLOSET standing up with other things leaning on it in a hot environment. they go bad real quick. flat is always good and out of the sun. always.
