just took forever to arrive and I ordered 10 packs and received 9. called to report it and they said they would send missing pack but never did. they cut fine though.

Have you tried using a rotary blade sharpener? It might sharpen the spot that is bad.

My sister bought the last bunch of blades at our local HF & I haven't tried them yet, but she says they're great. But don't use the cutter that comes with them, it's not meant for fabric I guess.

I bought one package and had the same problem of skipping.

I know I went crazy when ordering these(I got 30 pkgs.) and also picked up 16 pkgs. while on vacation in Oct., but have given over half of them away. Should I go ahead and open another pkg. or just bite the bullet(and pay three times as much) and get them at Jo-Ann's (using a coupon of course) and put these blades up for another day,lol!!! I had bought extra with the intention of putting some in a SQA pkg.!!

The only problem I've had is that they've been dull right out of the package. I only bought two packages, wanting to try them before buying any more. I can't understand it because so many, many, people wrote to say they were razor sharp.

I've been using one blade and it cuts beautifully - I really think it's sharper than the normal rotary blades we usually buy. I love them.
