Thanks for the tip! WalMart has titanium blades 5 in a pack for about $15.00. They seem to work well and last a while. If you have a Hancocks near you they carry the normal OLFA blades but at a MUCH cheaper price that JA's PLUS you can use JA'S PAPER coupon (not I phone!) at Hancocks. even on their SALE stuff.. I don't have Hancocks where I live but go several times while visiting my daughter in Idaho!! I am not a big fan of some of their fabric but I stock up on blades and Mary Ellen's Best Press..
