The other part of the cutting experience is the rotary cutter blade. I'm guilty of making those last way beyond their valuable use. I write down the date when I change a blade (I write it on the package the new one came in) and then post it on my bulletin board. Unfortunately, there are times I've looked at the date and realized it's 3 months ago!

So, how often do you replace your blades? Should I kind of eyeball the "lengths" I'm cutting and replace after so many yards? I do a mixture of both block of the month quilts (so cutting fabric for the month's block) and then sew complete quilts in the middle of the month. I sew every day that I am home.....so the rotary cutter is used every day.

What do you usually do? I'm interested in a better way than just "winging it". Thanks for your thoughts and have a great day sewing!
