Wonder if it's just me and having trouble using a straight-handled cutter!?! My go-to cutter is an old, blue, curve-handled Quilters Rule cutter which the HF blades don't fit. I tried 3 pkgs of HF blades and they all skipped. Used in 2 different cutters on 3 different mats. Now I keep one in an old brown Dritz cutter for paper piecing.

So far my only problem is : they haven't arrived yet!
ordered in August and phone call to the company last week, told me that they'll ship Nov 18th. I was originally told they were shipping Oct 22nd.

No problem at all. They seem to last longer than the regular rotary blades. Also, after 2+ months my blade was getting a little dull, I had been doing a lot of cutting, including a lot of stiffy--put the blade in the sharpener and it was better than before. Love HF blades and love the price... Also, my DH and I can shop together at HF and I have found some really great stuff there.

I just went to HF for blades and was told that they had just ordered 100 blades and that 90 these were being held for a local carpet store. The manager told me that I was the second person that week looking for the blades and he wwas truley amazes. He said "we hardley sell any blades here and all of a sudden we have 3 customers asking for them in aweeks time."
He placed another order and allowed me to have some held in my name, and wheb I picked them up the price had gone up 50 cents on a package. Got a feeling we'll end up with a higher price in the futire. Hope not!

Have a check that it is not some lint on your cutting board that is causing he problem. I only suggest this because you say there is no nick in the blade. Often, if the cutting board is a bit old or not smoothed from lint, that can be the problem.

I have had no problems with the blades at all. I am so happy with them. Sorry to hear you are having a problem. I ordered mine and then found out we have a store about 80 miles from here. I go to Duluth often so stopped in and they had some in stock so I bought a couple more packages. Love them.

Mine have been on back order since mid Aug. Since they won't charge my card until they ship I told them I would wait until they were available. They had sent a card telling me I could cancel as it is taking so long.
