I feel sorry for all the carpet installers around the country who are trying to buy or refill their carpet cutters. But not so sorry that I didn't go out and buy a few packages of blades. I left a few for them though. Soft hearted person that I am. ;-)

If you really get desperate, run on over to downtown Gainesville. Last time I checked they had plenty of them. I guess word hasn't gotten around here just yet. They've also got a ton of all the other stuff people have mentioned.

Yeah you're probably right about that. Any carpet man I've ever watched had a real heavy duty one. So if we are buying up all the HF ones they're probably glad about it. Maybe carpet installers never buy those cheap ones.

[/quote] I bought ten pkgs of blades and my GF bought two. Also found two magnetic "bowls" to hold pins for $3.99. The one I got at the Expo was $12.95.[/quote]

I bought one of the small magnetic bowls and to my surprise when I put it down on my heavily padded ironing board, it stuck like glue, well almost.
I was delighted because I use my i.board for everything. It's set up immediately next to my machine and I place my pin cushions etc. on it while I'm sewing. Every once in a while my arm bumps it and the pins go flying. This totally prevents that. Plus it's just the right size ... not too big, not too small. I love it.
