Johanna and that was for only 5 blades. got them on sale but not always on sale when needed..... |
I have had no trouble either other then the blade is wobbly in my cutter. Does not cause me any problems though.

I was having trouble with mine but we cleaned them up there seemed to have some sticky stuff that was stopping them from cutting properly, now they are cleaned and working just fine...maybe the people that are having problems could try this

I had problems with them too. But I think my problem is that I can't cut with a 45MM. I have to have the 60MM. I wish I could get used to the smaller one, but for some reason I just can't seem to cut with them. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi,
No comment about the HF Blades, just wanted to say that I love your comments after your signature. Recently I have ben having difficulty with a childhood friend....think it is time to move on. Thanks for the inspiration. |

It gives me more money for fabric and anything else I want...I coupon(save 1/3 to 1/2 off my grocery bill EVERY month) and watch for sales and very proud of it....

Sorry for your bad experience ladies. Maybe they were old (?). I have bough 8 packs and have had great results. They cut better than my rotary cutter (six layers well instead of 4 - no sliding). I don't know what to say. Hope you find a better replacement. The only thing I noticed is that the curved "washer" on the center of the blade that holds it in place has to be bent in (two c shaped sides closer together). Then they are held tighter in place and work great.

I ordered 6 packages by mail. Opened two (4 blades) and none of them cut evenly. My mat works fine with other blades. At least two of the 4 were not exactly round and had some straight places and I did have to clean the sticky residue off with alcohol. Maybe quilters ordered so many that the manufacturer hurried the process to replace stock. They did give a refund. I then tried the store in another town and they did not have them in the stock.
