Or are you a quiltmaker/sewer who just makes a heck of a lot of quilts?
Please don't toss them in the trash! There have been several threads on this Board in which people describe various ways they package used blades to make them safe (safer than just tossing the blade anyway) before disposing of them. I place worn-old blades in an old blade container or dental floss container and, when it's full, wrap the container tightly in duct tape and pitch the whole thing.
