Did you have a coupon. Oh, and they are on backorder.

I called our store and they were out. Said truck
comes in every Tuesday and I would just have to
check each week. They don't take your name or
phone number, so just got to remember to keep
checking back with the store. Betty Lee

Since I've got quite a collection of rotary cutters with new blades in them, I just picked up another and started using it.
So, I haven't tried another HF one yet. I hope it was just that one!
I sure can't picture rugs being cut with this one! :lol:

I got the blades at Harbor Frieght as well. Haven't used them yet. I also got one of theose tall things that revolve, the kind you put nails and screws in. It has 4 tiers, and I put all of my little things in it, like pencils, small scissors, and other stuff. I also found a long container with a red lid that is hinged and has 4 compartments. I put all my Juke attachments in it. I also got one of those rulers that are triangle shaped with a lip. There are a lot of things at harbor frieght that can be used for quilting. I saw a Fons & Porter show once where they went shopping at the hardware store. I told my husband I felt like one of them.

I was just into my local HF and there was one set left. Apparently a quilter had been in just before me and bought several sets! My hubby frequents HF so we will just keep an eye for the blades so as to avoid the shipping price which raises the per blade cost!!
