Rotary Cutter Blades
#11
Thanks!
The doily is about 18" across or so, and comes from an old reprint of an old (I think) Laura Wheeler newspaper item, from a set of "seashell" motif doily patterns.
It was originally intended for something like a size 20 or 30 thread and a size 12 hook, like that,
but I used Size 10 crochet thread and a straight-shank Size B (smallest size for yarn) hook.

I have one more harbour freight store to check in Spokane for the blades.

Sewitseams, I don't mean to be a "smarta--", but did you put only one of the blades into your rotary cutter? The two blades in the package were a little difficult to separate. Belles

So maybe that will keep down the price for us quilters!
