Just pay attention, if your blade leaves little pieces of lint all over and just doesn't seem to be working quite right, check to make sure you don't have two blades stuck together. been there, done that.

I wash mine with dish liquid.

Awesome idea!! Thanks for this

I try to buy my blades when they are on sale, and usually buy the 5 pack. I find it very hard (and dangerous!) to seperate one blade from the others when I want to install a new one. How do you handle them?

I put it back into the package and discard it. Is amazing how many times the kids need to use a rotary cutter. I wonder what they did before I quilted.
Added: Found it: http://www.lpsharp.com/3.html If you exchange 5 blades, and they don't have to be olfa, you can get new olfa blades for $3 each, minimum order of 5 and free shipping. Seems like a steal to me! |
That would be great. By the way, I love your profile pic. Where is the picture from?
