I use the blades all the time. lately I have had to clean them with goo-gone and then they are great. seams a little of the paper sticks to the blade. try this before throwing them away so much cheaper and I change the blades more often.

Harbor Freight has more great things for quilters than I think they realize. Shhhh, don't tell 'em. They might start charging more for items we are using for quilting. I have all of the items you purchased. You have made a great buy on all. I love that store, those suction cups alone are a major coup as they sell for so much more in a quilting catalog. The things I find may not have been made for quilting, but there is nothing wrong with making them work. Way to go!

Make sure you don't have 2 blades stuck together, that sometimes happens and they won't cut.

*** Later the HF store will start putting FREE (no purchase necessary) coupons in the paper.
*** And other FREE (with purchase) coupons in the paper.
*** Then you can get a magnetic pin dish, Handy Helper Magnifing Glass, Blades, Hole Punch,
*** needle nose pliers, tiny ratchet set, etc.
***
*** The only purchase necessary with the coupons is a small paint brush for 29 cents.

Great finds, I wish I had one near me, but I don't, probably safer on my wallet that way.

Great finds

After impaling a sewing needle in the bottom of my foot (which required surgery to remove) I purchased a telescoping magnetic implement ($3.99 at Harbor Freight) that allows me to pickup needles and pins that I am so bad about dropping on the floor without bending over - I also have learned to wear slip on sandals or slippers while walking around the house now LOL.

Just got back from a jaunt to HF with DH. Those yellow SnapGate 10' measuring tapes with the carabiner clips for belt or purse, etc, were only 99 cents!!!! Great stocking stuffers for boys of all ages. Of course, I bought one for myself too!

Thanks Louise for giving me a boost on my HF shopping list.

Lots of fun, Louise! Love Harbor Freight almost as much as I love fabric stores!

Krystyna,

At least at HF they don't ask me what I plan to make with what
ever I buy.

A few weeks at Joann's pretty much went like this:

fabric cutter: so what are you going to make with this pretty fabric?

me: Make? (small snicker inserted here). Nothing, just wanted to
buy the fabric to look at. Than stick it in my stash where all my other
fabric goes too.

fabric cutter: You don't sew?

Me: when the mood strikes me, but I love fabric so there fore I buy.

Granted the girl cutting fabric is new and has never cut fabric for me
before. But she was beginning to think I had more than a few fries
missing from the order. I did fess up that yes I do sew, not as often
or as much as I want/should. But when I see pretty fabric my mind
starts to work frantically imagining the fabric in xxx pattern with xxx
fabrics as complimentary fabrics to join it.

She had a big laugh (all the other ladies cutting fabric KNEW me so
they knew I was just having fun with the new cutter.

She was smiling the rest of the time I was there shopping.
