Today I had the chance to go to Harbor Freights which is like a gazzillion miles away from where I live. Anyways, we go to HF, and my husband makes a bee line to the restroom...I make a bee line to Isle 9 (I have that isle memorized) all the way to the end look up (only cuz I am short and have to look up to see anything) and By GOLLY GEEZ...I SEE BLADES...I let out a little "woohoo" and the poor old man that was in the same section as I was jumped as I scared him so much with all my excitement. But there were 6 packages of blades SIX...I couldn't believe it. Soooooooooo I was NICE and THOUGHTFUL to the next quilter I only took 5 packages...and left one...I could have taken all of them but I didn't. That little evil devil on my left shoulder was trying his best to make me take all of them. But the good devil won out.
Anyways, I take the blades up to the counter to pay for them...only words out of my mouth was "Hi how are you today" And she says "Hi I am fine...I can see that your a quilter!" SAY WHAT??? How does this girl know I am a quilter so I ask her...and she tells me in her exact words "ONLY QUILTERS BUY THESE BLADES". lol I was surprised that she said that let alone KNOW that. So I guess our secret is out everyone....Oh dear...I hope they don't raise the prices on us. |
Yes, the folks at the Harbor Freight near me know that quilters covet these blades. For a while, they couldn't keep them in stock, but there have been plenty the last few times I have been in....and, yes, I always leave some for the next quilter.

My sweet daughter ordered me some online and I got them, whoooeee!! Love them. And next time I go to Modesto or Fresno or wherever they have a Harbor Freight, I'll get me some more, just in case everyone finds out about them. |
Picked up six packages today just because I was close. Love them and no longer worry about cost. Change the blade when needed.

First thing the clerk said to me was you must be a quilter. I only have two left so going to have to make another run. trying to time it with jo-ann's sale. :D
