Any Problems with the Harbor Freight Blades????

Sometimes it's not the blade but the mat !!!!!! Sounds weird but they do get used alot.
Try using a section that doesn't get used much (far corner?) or turn over the mat (if it's a green one) and use that side. Usually no guidelines, but still a cutting mat! I hope it's just that one package... good luck.

Aw Come On! Ruin the mats, how? I can't see how they can ruin a mat any more than any other brand. They just want to sell their expensive blades and make money. Truth be told, we just "might" find out the same company makes them for any number of brands and for HF too.
Those blades have to be sharp to cut carpet backing. Think about it.
I won't buy into that one. They are just upset because they can't find them and save some money!

I am sure that once in a while there will be a defective blade in a package. I have even had defective Olfa blades. At the price for an Olfa blade, I took it back to the Joann's and exchanged it. Fortunately, I had just bought it.

A Colorado quilter here. I didn't know about getting blades at HB. My husband and I are HB fanatics. Just paid big bucks for five replacement blades for my Olfa at Jo Ann's. Feel like a total dummy, never thought to check HB, but perhaps I'll wait until the question of quality is resolved.
