Am I ever going to learn it?
I just changed my rotary cutter blade - and wow, it does suddenly cut so smooth! :o How long was I using that blunt blade? Not sure, but definitely ways too long! Am I ever going to learn to change my blades more often?

I do the same thing...
|
Isnt it something to have a sharp blade, nothing like it to show us how dull our old blade really was. I do the same with needles, I hear a pop pop pop sound and think, hmm, better change it out. Thanks for the reminder, I will change both blade and needle today.

I do the same thing, then wonder why I wait so long. How about your seam ripper? How dull does that have to get before we replace????
|
you are not alone!
|
Blades, needles, seam rippers, and scissors get dull?
I, too, tend to wait too long to replace or get sharpened. |
I toss my blade the first time it skips. I know it's not going to heal itself if I wait. LOL When a seam ripper won't cut a thread without a tug, out it goes. Blade and rippers are too cheap not to have to use at their best.

I think all of us (especially when you are on a limited budget) try to get every inch of cutting we can out of a blade. They are very expensive and I hate to spend the money. You are in good company.

I change everytime I begin a large quilt, and continue using the old one on smaller pieces?
