    I went on the website to order. They start at 1.99 per pkg of 2. Shipping for 10 pkg was 8.99. It comes to 3.00 for 2 or 1.50 each blade.
    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

    I bought them at Haror Freight. They work just the same as the expensive ones at the fabric stores.

    I know everyone is very pleased with theirs, but I think I must have gotten a "lemon." The first and only one I've used wasn't real, real sharp to begin with and by the end of just one cutting project it was very dull.
    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.

    Depending on where you live and with your state's tax plus S/H it works out to about 1.83 apiece.

    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!!

    They work fine in my Fiskars 45mm cutter. Word has gotten around and Harbor Freight raised the price to $1.99 for a package of 2. Still a great price
