    Default Bought new rotary blades and they're fantastic

    I spent some time googling and reading reviews and finally ordered these (Headley Tools 45mm Rotary Cutter Blades Pack of 15):

    WOW. I'm stunned at how good these are. I kept reading that Headley brand is excellent and I can confirm these are the best blades I've ever used. I've been cutting for a few days now to create my own "kits" so I have projects ready to go. I can cut through 12 layers like it's nothing, no resistance or slipping at all. Unbelievably sharp.

    Thanks for the product review! I had seen Headley before but did not realize that they were now available in Canada. Heading off to buy myself a Christmas present!

    I was thrilled to see them available in Canada and so affordable!

    Reviewers also really love the Headley titanium-coated blades but those only seem to come with a circular centre, not the notched centre.

    I have been using the Gold Headley brand for a long time. I don't know if there is much difference from the silver to the gold but they look fancy in my cutter. LOL
    Between those and the MS brand being on flash sales I am well stocked with blades.

    I had to order Superior Threads #90/14 sewing machine needles this morning, so I also added a 15 blade pack of these rotary cutters from Amazon. Will let you know what I think of them when they arrive.

    I’ve been using them for a little over a year. I plan to purchase them again once I’ve depleted my blade stash. Blade stash - Sort makes me sound like a pirate! LOL

    I've been using Headley titanium blades for a few years, and suggest them to all my quilting friends. They work great and last a long time. When they stop cutting perfectly - usually bc I've nicked them on something - I don't feel bad about changing the blade out bc at just over $1/blade, they are so much more reasonably priced than the more commonly known brand. Here is the link to the ones I order. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C7PPTC3...n_title_1&th=1

    I remembered ordering titanium blades some years ago and I do like them and they seem to last much longer but can't remember who the seller was but I remember it was a tool company and not a sewing company so maybe it was the same folks you ordered yours. Titanium blades do seem to last longer plus if you have a self healing cutting mat seems to help also.

    I have bought the 45 mm and the 60. Very happy with them and the price.
