    I am going to see if I can hit Harbor Freight before the end of the month or maybe I can get my dear brother to stop on the way home from work. :-)
    I just checked out the blades on the website and ALL 4 of the reviews are from quilters. Made me giggle .

    The blades fit the 45mm rotary cutters.

    Do the magnetic trays afflict the computerized machines?

    safety pins, straight pins, thumb tacks, screws and nuts, snaps for the doll clothes, clasps for jewelery, snipper scissors, packages of assorted needles, empty bobbins... about the time I think I've got enough, I find I need another one for this or that. I have a magnetic strip in my basement that they all hold to, right in a row. I'm a total klutz, so when I end up knocking my pins or whatever around, the bowl goes spinning but the stuff doesn't spill out :) :thumbup:[/quote]

    I'd be afraid to have more than one magnetic tray on my sewing table. It sucks up my scissors as it is. But I love it.

    In addition to your comment about stuff doesn't spill if you drop it, IF you drop a few pins on the floor, just passing the tray over the floor snags all the loose pins.

    I bought an LED light on a head band. Don't use it much but it's great for needle threading and stitch picking! Maybe $7 or so.
