Personally, I prefer to just buy new ones, but I saw this blog, and she swears it works:

Well that has got to be worth a try, doesn't cost anything, I am off to give it a try.

Thanks for sharing. I'll give it a try! :D

Let us know if it works please.

thanks for the link

IT WORKED for me, I had a blade in that had a small nick in so when I was cutting it left some threads uncut behind, less than a minute and it is now cutting perfectly, now need to get some more kitchen foil, thanks for the link
:thumbup:

BTW the only prob is that you get loads of silvery bits about, may be useful to keep for Xmas for artificial snow on ornaments or something :roll:

It is neat someone tried it, and it works! Love the idea of saving the shavings for decorating.

Thanks for the tip. I just bought several pack's at Harbor Freight yesterday. So I should be set for awhile. But a good tip to have when needed.

It will be great when it's 10 pm and the fabric has to be cut and your last blade decides to be dull!

I found some Harbor Freight blades in my purse. Forgot I bought them, they do get rave reviews here.
