i get a lot of sewing things at HF. i asked them when they were going to add a quilting aisle. they thought i was nuts.
i did not know about the club. here is my HB list:


If you have not set your machine up yet and your DH does not have a socket adapters set for his drill get this for him:

if you are setting your machine up on carpet get 2 sets of these for ease of movement:

these come in several sizes 4”-6”- 8” ect. They will hold onto your rollers and pins. I took thick floor pad scrubber cut into a circle and glued it to the inside and now I stick my pins in upright, no sticks trying to pick up pins.

I think the re snappers are the only way to go for mounting the quilt to the rollers

The carpet cutter blades are wonderful for use in your rotary cutters.
My SIL got me a pkg last summer and I am still using on them. I have done a lot of cutting!
I am about 200 miles away from HF so I just now put in an order.
The shipping was terrible but do the figures and it still comes out as a bargain.

I bought some the other day in Detroit it awful how the sewing company's charge so much money for the blades for the Olfa or any other rotary tool for quilting. I also bought the carpet cutter it's self thought maybe I could use it for chenille. If not I have a carpet that needs trimming. Hope they don't raise the prices on them....What is the blade club???

I am happy to see this subject again. I purchased ten packs on-line. All had the same lot number. I opened a package put one in my Olfa cutter and gave the other one to my sister. I absolutely love mine but she can't get hers to cut at all. The only difference is I cut right handed and she is left. Could this make a difference? I see where most of the board members love them but there are a few that have the same opinion my sister has.

Let me see... wonder if my wife would be impressed with a new cutter for Mothers Day. Ummm probably only with flowers.

Wish we had a Harbour Freight here in Canada... maybe one day..

We have a harbor Frieght here in town. I have never been! Havn't needed blades in forever. I wear them out, but am too cheap to change them out.

I went to a Harbor Freight in Missouri (they are not heavily populated here) and they said they no longer carried them. Was visiting my daughter in New Orleans and saw a store in a strip mall so stopped and they had them. I was doing the happy dance. I am anxious to try them. It seems that everyone who has does like them. Sooo much cheaper.

I want to join! (whine) Every time I get to town I either run out of time or wear out before I get to HF. It's way across town.
