OH , Yes so familar. I bought a sharpener at Joann's also and it does work quite well , but if you are doing quite a few layers at a time you may bend or should say warp the blade then it does not help sharpening the blade. I made , the old fashion pie carriers for a scenic drive last month and they are very thick , it is easy to put to much pressure on the blade and it warps . Needless to say when I came back from Illinois I had to buy more blades. Trish

Whew!!!!!! What a relief. I thought I was the only one that did this, I'm the world's worst at changing the blades- but when I do, it's like WOW, why did I wait so long?

I guess I'm like everyone else. I wait until the last possible moment to change my rotary blade. They're expensive and I want to get as much from them as I can. But I usually change it when I start a new project. The cutter just works better.
