Exactly what I was thinking!
This is really a no-lose-risk .... definitely worth a try.

Plus when I checked the link, I noted that its free shipping with a $35 order.
Ladies ... time to treat ourselves to something extra?


For those in Ontario ...
... Len's have their own brand that I have tried and seem to be OK.

Jennifer, here in the USA through Amazon and others there are many good "generic" ? blades. I just got some Premier blades for $1.00 each. They are available on eBay, too if you can get them in Canada. Other quilters find them excellent! So try some others if they have a return policy!

I'll also check with my cousin up there, too.

I haven't had to buy blades in a while. I bought quite a few at Joann's with a 50% coupon. I am in Ontario but all I have to do is cross a bridge into NY and go to Joann's. I am starting to run low now though.

I have a friend who goes to the US once is a while and picks up Harbor Freight blades. Pack of 2 for $2.
Package says for carpet or quilting. I like them. Some people say they have had the odd one that is a dud, but for that price.....

Just wanted to note that Fabricland has their 40% off anniversary sale on right now for most of the month, if you are a member in Canada.

Give rotarycutterblades.ca a try - I ordered from them 10 45mm blades for $20 Cdn.....I find them to be great blades and great value....I think they are located in Alberta....

I guess it's personal preference. I have bought off-brand blades at WalMart and somewhere else once. I was dissatisfied both times - they started out okay, but got dull way too quickly.

Because of where I live, I can't return things easily to Amazon (it's 250 km to a dropoff point, since they won't do pickups in my town). Many online retailers are like that; even if they have a "good" return policy, returning things will cost me more than the item is worth. I know this isn't the case for many people, but it has made me much more cautious about trying things where the quality might not meet my standards. I prefer to pay a bit more and not have to deal with the frustration and time loss.
