    Ask for carpet cutting or rug cutting blades. Someone already pointed out that there are two blades in each packet; be sure to only put one in your rotary cutter. They kind of stick together and using two makes the whole setup not work. I find these blades to be a good value but have friends that haven't had luck with them. If you can get to a Harbor Freight store it's a great place to browse and see things that work well for quilters at great prices.

    They dont stay sharp as long as the others, but for the price, they hold up really well. I have used them for a lot of pr. pojects, but if I have something I want cut precisely I use the others and don't leave them in the package too long as the oil will dry out and they are worthless

    Yeah!! I thought it was my cutter....glad to find out I'm not the only one with blade issues from HF. I have an Olfa blade in my secondary cutter that works great. Brand new HF blades skip horribly, and I had to push so hard to get it to cut. HF is a fun store, but wouldn't buy those again.

    I know I couldn't find those blades either until a friend told me that it is replacement blades to look for. I still need to order some.

    I have oodles of the Harbor Freight blades and have no problem unless its a very thick material (which I just found out LOL). But otherwise I have no problems with those cutting cotton, silk, or rayon. But Fleece or any thick I use the Olfa blades for.
