You probably know this but it is worth mentioning since you are having such a hard time cutting. Are you also using a Olfa cutter with the Olfa blades? The Olfa blade has a different shape in the center of the blade & some cutters only work with the round center. If you are using a cutter other than an Olfa then try & buy some blades w a round center like maybe Fiskars or whatever brand. The Olfa blades are great with the Olfa cutters.
