I hut got notification from Threadart that they sent my 6 sets of blades on the 20th. So I should have them in a week or less.

OK Ladies and Gentleman, here is the scuttlebutt on the HF rotory blades. There are none in almost all of the stores in the country (LOL) oops sorry.
The website is out and I was told that it will be at least 3 weeks before the website will get them again. That means if you have rain checks in hand it will take another 3 weeks on top of that.... So 6 weeks or so for them, so we are looking at October. Freight day for the stores is Tuesdays, so check in by phone at your local FHT.
For the one's that want them in Bulk or by the case, you have to try on the website. Oh and if you get them on the website they will NOT ship it to your local HFT. Only to your residence.
OK, did I answer all the questions? I hope so. By the way JoAnns is having a sale on rotory goodies. :D Just thought I'd share that.
I hope this helped.
:XD:

Thanks for checking this out. Nothing we can do but wait it out.

Yep, but I just thought I'd give the 411 so everyone was on the same page.
Have a good weekend all!!!
:-D

I decided to bite the bullet and place an order for 20pks, 10 for me and 10 for my friend Karen (HI Karen!)

For several minutes I thought it wasn't going to take my order, it kept telling me there was nothing in the cart. Then it wiped out my account, then I got a page that said they were having technical difficulties, LOL...was everyone ordering at once?

Finally the order went thru smoothly. With s&h and tax, they came to $1.31 a blade. I'm very happy with that.

Thanks so much for looking into the blades.

I tried here in Australia at Bunnings. they don't have them at all, only the long square ones. So no luck there for us. I will try out local carpet place and see they have them.

You all are so welcome..
:-D

Since I can't get them here in Australia at that price, I went onto Threadart and ordered a further 6 blades at 2.99 each. They are NOT Olfa but will fit the cutters. I payed about $28Au for the 6. About $4.50 each all up. Still better than $12 each any day. That is with p&h plus exchange rate too. Thank you for reminding me to check Threadart out again for the blades. I will give my daughter 2 when they arrive next week. She is a beginner quilter so all the help she can get the better.

Guess I got very lucky today. Hubby and I went to Harbor Fgt and I got 10 packs and they propably had 30 more on the rack. If any of you are in Knoxville, they are on isle 8.
