harbor freight rotary blades

Jean,
they are and might also be better than the commerical ones you buy at Joannes. When you go to harbor frieght ask for carpet cutter blades. Here in WA state they are 2 blades for 1.79. I just bought 10 packs and the guy at the counter said you must be a quilter.............LOL

I wrote the original complaint about them. I don't know what happened but I am having fantastic results now with the same blade and cutter. I never changed the blade. I wonder if the angle might be a little different and I had to adjust the way I cut? It's still sharp and never misses. Maybe I had to press a little harder. I don't know. Sooo, if like me, you were having trouble forge through and keep trying. LOL

Because they were cheap I guess lol. I used the same blade for fabric and feed sacks and still they don't skip as bad as the expensive ones I got from Joann's I have had this blade in there since the day I bought the first package and its still going, thru paper feed sacks fabric all the same. Its starting to skip now after months, but the expensive ones I have had experience with since starting to quilt 12 yrs ago, would come out of package duller than the HF blades so yes they are worth it.

I've been using mine for a long time now.. perhaps a year, and have had no problems.. I ordered a bunch and have given quite a few to my quilting friends.. they are great blades for the low low price! I'll never buy another rotary cutting blade from the quilt shops unless I just have to.
