Good heavens. I don't recall seeing this posted before but I'm certainly taking advantage of the great find. Thank you so much. I just ordered 6 pks. That is 12 blades and it is costing me just a little under $20. Can't beat that with a stick!! LOL I shouldn't need more blades for at least 5 yrs. I still have some others that I can use while waiting for the back order to be filled. We can all be really happy cutters!!! More money for fabric, right gals!!!

The price going up 30% is a negative impact. A good thing I bought enough to last me a life time. Most of us bought bunches. Wait until they find out that the gold rush is over and only a few stragglers are still buying.

And I'm wanting to be a fly on the wall when the contractors come in all gritty and grimy from the job and want to know what's with the price hike. D'ya think the store manager will say, "Well, it's like this, these ladies/guys came in here all about blades for their rotary cutters for sewing and bought us out, so we raised the price due to quilters and you guys are caught in it."

Could you possibly have had two blades stuck together? I had this happen once until I discovered the problem. Also, I once put the screw back on but on the wrong side of cutter. Would not cut until I reversed sides.

Thank you, and God bless.

Everytime I have been in the store, they are sold out, I even check the store when I travel! Nothing. I have an order on line and a rain check out our local store and still nothing! I was in today and still nothing, but that is ok, I will not give up!!!

If we can gauge all the Harbor Freight stores by the two in my area, they receive a shipment once a week (one store on Monday and the other on Tuesday) and they only receive 6 packages! I call each store as soon as it opens on the day the shipment arrives and ask if they would hold whatever blades they received. Thus far it has worked and after tomorrow's pick up, I'll have enough to last a while. Good luck and not giving up shows you have the "true grit" of quilters! Belles

I'm thinking you could put in an order with them for an extra 6 pkgs or whatever number you want above their normal order, give them your name and number and have them either call you or at least hold the blades till you come to get them.
Might work.

They told me they get a truck on Monday,but never said anything about Tuesday! Hmm, think I will call them first thing today!!

Sorry I wasn't clear on the shipments to my area Harbor Freight stores. One store I mentioned is in Lombard, IL and the other store is in Burbank, IL. Lombard gets their shipment on Monday and Burbank on Tuesday. However. when I called Burbank this morning, I was told the carpet cutters never were shipped...they are on backorder. HMM, could we quilters have exhausted the national supply? Belles
