I've purchased 3 different blade sharpeners over time - none really worked.
I was at a sew-in yesterday where one of the women was using the Gingher rotary cutter - she loves it, says it cuts much easier than any other
I've gone back to buying blades from Joanns with a coupn and also using the Harbor Freight carpet cutters

I use the Gingher cutter daily...I love it! But...I use the blades from JHittle in mine, not the Gingher ones. They're too
pricy for me...I got the JHittle ones on sale, 100 for about $140.

I tried a sharpener a couple of years ago....it was a waste of money. It was made by Dritz, I believe.

I'm like gollytwo. I use the blades from Harbor Freight. I find that, although they don't stay as sharp as the MORE expensive ones, I save a ton of money even if I have to replace it more quickly. And if I happen to get a bad blade, I don't feel guilty when I just toss it.

I have a sharpener but it doesn't do much good.
