I have not had good luck with the blades from HF, darn. However, I have found other useful things such as magnetic bowls for holding bobbins, pins, etc. by the longarm frame, tool case tote with wheels for hauling my sewing machine to classes, etc. Caution: the HF store I go to has a very strong smell apparently emanating from some of their chemical products. I keep my time inside the store to a minimum.
