All but the very old computerized machines have a magnetic shield. There is no worry with a magnet pin cushion being around the machine.

Call ahead of time and have them check their inventory.
My store was showing 6 packets and had zero in the store.
Online they are back ordered with no notification when they come in. The only thin you can do is continually call the store every week...

The notched edges around the center of an Olfa blade are for built-in obsolescence.

That is what I heard another rotary cutter company explain at a booth at the Sewing Expo in Puyallup, WA a couple of years ago.

The Fiskars replacement blades are round in the center, exactly like the ones found at Harbor Freight. They have always worked perfectly well in my Olfa cutters, and are usually less expensive. Now, can't wait to go to town for a visit to Harbor Freight!!

To be sure of your size, trace around your old blade and take the paper with you...............
