A few people keep asking about whether these blades will cut the mat. Now really, I don't GET that question. If the blade is dull enough to not mar the mat, it's too dull to use. And my mat is showing lots of wear and tear before I ever even heard of these HF blades (this is the BIG white mat from Joanns) Haven't tried cutting on a green or grey mat yet.

I have 2 of the BIG white ones from JoAnn. I use them for garment layouts, but they are permanently damaged by rotary blades, although I have had them for 18 years and have used rotary cutters on them.. The green or gray ones resist the cuttting much better.

I was wondering about them, we don't have any of those stores around here and I have never heard of them before, and was wondering if you could order the blades on line or not. Will be waiting for any of your answers and thanks in advance for the info.

If you still don't know what we are talking about, go back to page one, or to the other subjeft "Rotor blades" which has 15 pages worth of comments and answers almost all of the questions being repeated. There are pictures of the blades and the packaging. Enjoy
