I bought five paks and I am very disapponted in them. I can't help but wonder if they changed brands to sell, especially after hearing everyone brag about their blades.

I was gifted some and have had no problems with mine either. I tested it with my others in cutting out last quilt. Took turns using the two different blades. :)

Wow, what a drag you're having problems; have you checked the others in other packages? I've had NO trouble with mine; in fact, I just changed a blade and it was sharp as could be!

Mmm.... reading more comments, I can't help but wonder if they had a bad batch made.... I'd return them.

I'm so glad you posted. I purchased 10 packages a few weeks ago and have not had any luck in cutting my fabrics. I won't be buying those any time soon. By the way, I did try the blades in all 10 packages. Very disappointed.

Talking about rotory blades, has anyone tried a sharpener on the market that works good. I did buy one but it didn't work so I sent it back. I hate to throw a good blade away just because it is dull or a tiny nick in it. I don't know what particular blades you guys are talking about.
Thanks for your answers.

I've tried turning the blades over thinking I may have put it on wrong. Anyone else have these problems? Bought them awhile ago and didn't save receipt so I guess I'll have to save my JoAnn's coupons and go invest in the real thing. UGH!

I wonder if you didn't realize there are 2 blades in the package and put both in your cutter? They don't work at all that way LOL

Mine didn't work either. So sad. I bought a dozen packages, but have only tried two of them. I need to try a few more packages and hope that the rest are as good as many of you say they are.
