All but the very old computerized machines have a magnetic shield. There is no worry with a magnet pin cushion being around the machine.

Call ahead of time and have them check their inventory.
My store was showing 6 packets and had zero in the store.
Online they are back ordered with no notification when they come in. The only thin you can do is continually call the store every week...

The notched edges around the center of an Olfa blade are for built-in obsolescence. In other words, they work kind of like a saw-blade, and will eventually saw off the post the blade is attached to, making it necessary to buy a new Olfa rotary cutter, not just replace the blades. That is what I heard another rotary cutter company explain at a booth at the Sewing Expo in Puyallup, WA a couple of years ago.

The Fiskars replacement blades are round in the center, exactly like the ones found at Harbor Freight. They have always worked perfectly well in my Olfa cutters, and are usually less expensive. Now, can't wait to go to town for a visit to Harbor Freight!!

To be sure of your size, trace around your old blade and take the paper with you...............

What are they called at Harbor Freight? I was looking at the website (because we don't have one here in Utah) and I couldn't find them???? Thanks for the tip I would love to get some!!!
Happy Quilting!

I am trying to figure out what a super grip holder is too. I Google it but it doesn't go anywhere that I think a quilter would use it.
