Just a friendly reminder........change that cutter blade. I started off trying to cut 8 layers of flannel today and it just flat did not work. Went and got my scissors to finished that stack with. Then it hit me....when was the last time I changed that blade? Like cutting warm butter after that. I was working myself to death for nothing. And the pitiful thing is, I can't blame a single soul except me! I also found out that a sharp blade keeps your batting from mucking up your cutting mat. Save yourself some sweat, Ladies. Change it.
