This weekend, the hubby dragged me to Home Depot to get a gardening tool. As I wandered in a nearby aisle, I saw my exact Fiskars fabric cutting scissors! I showed him and he said "from now on, we're shopping for quilting stuff in hardware stores" since I just bought about 20 rotary blades from Harbor Freight.

I've posted the links below. HD is $5 cheaper, but if you get Joann with a coupon, then it's cheaper. Either way, good to know!

Thanks for the info!

Do you use these for rag quilting??

I LOVE tool stores! DH gets a kick out of me when we go shopping. Clothing --- nah---- where's the tool store????? Even when we go to Pigeon Forge and the outlets!

girls love power tools as much as boys!

I like tools too.

Me tee shirts and jeans.

It's all in how it's labeled ;) Crazy huh? DH is an avid fisherman and uses red glass beads for one or two of his rigs... he quickly learned that craft stores sold them much cheaper than ones that were labeled for "fishing".

Thanks for the heads up though - those look pretty nice!

Who is this cutie? First time I noticed this avatar!

Thanks!

I've never done a rag quilt. I use these to cut fabric and thread. It's a lot easier for me to snip from the machine than use the blade that's attached to my machine. I also use these to snip yarn and cross stitch thread. Less fraying than with a regular scissors.

Thank you for sharing this with us :D:D:D

Wow, thanks for the heads up.

What department did you find them in?

thanks for letting us know

Nice to know...thanks for the info!

those look like the ones i use for rag quilts.

You can get rotary blades at Harbor Freight? I'll have to check that out -- I usually order from a store on E-bay. Thanks for the tip.

great tip!

Thanks for the info. I got a roto zip one year. I asked Santa for it and got it for doing crafts.
