There's a rumor that one is coming to Hempstead, Long Island, NY. If it does I will let my fellow NYers know....

The suction cup is used for a "handle" on your ruler while rotary cutting. Keeps your fingers safe!

Well, I HAD to have a blade, mine is going skip, skip, skip and frustrating (I dropped it when it was open on a ceramic tile floor). So even though each blade was double what the single blades were it still was lots cheaper than Jo-Anns with a 40% off coupon. Of course I had to get a couple other things..... Did you all know they have a wrist magnet? I thought I'd try that out and see if it will work. Here is a pic of my finds. Just a few cents over 10 bucks!
Well, now instead of waiting in the car while my DH buys the store out, I can find something in there to purchase myself.

Thanks for sharing this great find. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I live in NW Washington (state) and there are no Harbor Freight stores within 200 miles. Anything in northern Oregon?

We have Harbor Freight in Madison, and also Eau Claire Wi. I bought the last 7 pkgs in Madison and Eau claire was on back order. I will share these with 2 other quilters.

Good Luck

If you have not set your machine up yet and your DH does not have a socket adapters set for his drill get this for him:

if you are setting your machine up on carpet get 2 sets of these for ease of movement:
http://www.harborfreight.com/magic-m...ers-40071.html

these come in several sizes 4”-6”- 8” ect. They will hold onto your rollers and pins. I took thick floor pad scrubber cut into a circle and glued it to the inside and now I stick my pins in upright, no sticks trying to pick up pins.

I'd really love one of those carpet cutters. Anyone know if they are available in Australia. Get so jealous of you girls with your range of choices over there.

I stopped in HF on Saturday in WV and the back order carpet blades were "waiting for me." I did leave some for others. I also bought the mini suction cup but haven't had time to open or try this one. I thought may be I had made a mistake and needed the large handle suction tool. Glad to see others are trying the mini one. I feel better.
