I've had some that were good and lasted a long time. However, the last package of 2 that I bought were absolutely awful. They were both dull and nicked from the get go and were not usable at all. Luck of the draw I guess.

Some are good, some are bad. Good luck

I'm too afraid to try them. I don't like rolling the dice on my quilting purchases because I can't get out and get replacements very often. Too many people have reported iffy quality on them. I'll pay for my Fiskar blades. They are incredibly sharp. They slice through fabric with the greatest of ease. And they cut through an unfortunatly positioned thumb like a hot knife through butter! Yep, I've got the scars to prove my blades work, so I won't be looking elsewhere :)

Yes, I was in there looking for something else last week, and found them on sale in my local store. Bought three packs, as I have not tried them before. 6 blades for the price of one elsewhere. Haven't tried them yet tho'. Been so sick I haven't even felt like sewing. Now that is sick!!!

Too sick to sew!!! Now that's what I call alarming!!! Seriously, I hope you are better.

I bought 20 bladed the last time around. I've found 3 that were bad. Still better than "quilting' blades.
