To Tiffany: Thanks! Good for you for getting the blades with the coupons! I will have to say, you have to watch their prices, they are very high. I use the "tack gun" to put my quilts together for machine quilting because I can't do safety pins. But the tacks come in packages of 500 for $4.49 at Joanns. I found them at a big Walmart for $1.99 pkg!!! Regular price! But they don't carry the blades so not much you can do. Watch their sales online,I got -some really good bargains on blades! 10 pk 45mm for $17! Otherwise, I only buy them with a coupon or on sale!
