i would try them for yourself and see how they work. i received some in a swap also but have not tried them yet. some quilters swear by them. include them in your next swap package. i am sure someone will get a good use from them. also if you look on the back of the package it says harbor freight.

Some relly like them some say it's a waste. I'd try them first.

I have HF blades and love them. I've had a couple that did skip, but I put them into my blade sharpener and they were terrific. You'd be surprised at what you can get at HF for quilting. Love the plastic clips and the suction cups.

At last! I have some peace and quiet. DH is at the dog park and DS and Melissa are at work. Before I dive into Teresa's embroidery, I'm whipping up a pile of Christmas aprons to sell at craft fairs next year. I have an assortment of matching prim country fabric and it's a snap using the serger. I just wish I had one that wasn't missing pieces! I might make some scrappy pot holders to go with them. The plan is that they'll be done and away and ready to roll when the season rolls around.

Ok, even though I received my Secret Santa package kind of late, count me in. Lori, I will send you my information this afternoon.

I used the HF blades one time and they were okay but did not sit in the handle firmly, so do not use them. Need to get a good sharpener for the blades.
Just received 5 hard back quilting books from 1985 yesterday evening as a belated Christmas gift from my daughter's in-laws. We are all friends and exchange simple gifts at Christmas time. They are nice books and will be great reference for later.
Today is my youngest grandson's 5th birthday. Have to go wrap his gift. A big firetruck with several figures and a DVD. Hope he likes it. I need to get back to his quilt. Fortunately it is not going to be a gift.

Diana Lynn, The placemats look wonderful.

OK ladies, you all convinced me. I will at least TRY the blades. I do have an old mat too, I can use them on, just in case! OK the offer to give away the blades has been REMOVED UNTIL I at least try them! This is really so UNLIKE me because I always at least TRY something before offering up an opinion. Thx all for making me see that!

Glad you decided to try the blades....after all, they didn't cost you anything and so what better way to test them out. Hope you find that they work well.

Funny, I was reading your comments about the HF blades, and thinking that I should ask my son to check on them for me (he lives near HF). So, the phone rings, and it's him, and he's going to HF tomorrow. Of course, I asked him to grab a package of blades. Now I just have to see if he remembers them!

I just sent my info to Lori, and will be back for January. Was reading through here and didn't see Arizona - hope she is okay.
