Thanks desertdebbie, I forgot about threadart with all this talking about the rotary cutters. I just orders 6 packs at 2.99US whish will be about 25.00 Australian all up. I need more any way so thought to do it while I was thinking about it. They will be here next week.

Some have been put on backorder until October. There may be different responses.

What's a scrubby?

It is like a round ball, sort of soft mess material with a cord for hanging. Found in either cosmetics or where they have bath soaps

Why didn't someone think of this before? I bought eight 2 packs today. (40 blades) I'll split them with my sewing buddy.
I used one today and it's great. In fact, when I compared it to the Olfa blade I had been using, it looks like it could have been made in the same place. Both came from China!

Because, if we knew earlier, Joann's wouldn't make the money they do!!lol.

OK, now you know my math stinks! I purchased 20 packs for a total of 40 blades. :oops:
