Do any of you sharpen your rotary blades? How well does it work? Any tips or advice? Thanks.

Great idea if it will work!

I've seen sharpeners for sale several places.

I have a sharpener. It does help but I believe they get dull again more quickly.

I asked the same question about a month ago - most of the replies came down to the sharpeners don't work very well, so I didn't buy one.

I don't use one. They don't seem to work that well.

My husband sharpened mine for me, but it was an agonizing process. It is sharp, but I'm going to purchase replacement blades and keep them in my supply tote.

I love my cheap (made even cheaper with a coupon) sharpener from Joann's.

I think they key is to use them before the blade gets too dull...they are made to touch up the blades, not to grind them sharp :wink:
