Post dull! dull! dull!

Some activities are easier for me when I remember to replace or get sharpened the following when they get dull or nicked!

Rotary blades - and I wonder why it's a struggle to cut when I have table knives with sharper blades on them?
Pins - they come in a variety of thicknesses - thicker ones are harder to push - real thin ones can bend
Needles - don't know where or when I got the idea that they would never get dull!
Scissors - even my Ginghers have gotten dull - and that was only cutting fabric with them!
Seam rippers - many styles are comparatively inexpensive
Thread cutters on sewing machines -
x-acto blaces (for cutting template plastic)
Single edge razor blades -
Box cutter blades - for opening up our boxes of goodies
Pencil sharpeners - (and pencils)

We really do operate in a sharp-edged and pointy environment!

Sharp tools (that are supposed to be shart) really are safer than dull ones!
