I done that a couple of days ago but it wasn't all 5. It was 2.
I was cutting flannel and I thought that was the problem because I haven't rotatry cut flannel before. I went to take the cutter apart to clean it out I discovered I had 2 in there. They stick together so bad. |

So I was pretty delighted when my dear MIL gave me some rotary blades for Christmas! I went ahead and changed the blade out and merrily went on my way cutting, piecing, sewing, etc. Only I started to notice a problem. My fabric, when I cut it, was looking shredded kind of. I thought maybe it was poor quality fabric and that it was just falling apart...or maybe that I was cutting it on the wrong grain thing... Anyways, upon getting frustrated and glancing at it this evening, I suddenly discovered there was more than one blade in the rotary cutter. Get this, ladies and gents, I put ALL FIVE blades into the rotary cutter, because I didn't realize there was more than one in the package!!! :D :D :D :D So next time you feel absolutely ridiculous about something - just think about me, and you won't feel so bad!! :D |

We could be sisters -I have done stuff like that before

Just this week I went to put in a new blade, and couldn't find the old one. I had forgotten to remove it before I added the new blade.........so it happens, but I didn't have 5 in my package, jut the one...............
|
Grat idea, as I was concerned with getting cut handling the blades.
|
Alexis, I think you should be proud of the fact that you handled 5 blades at once and didn't get cut!
