I use one and it helps alot.
It is a little scary handling the blade but worth it.
I bought mine at Joannns with a coupon so not too expensive.
You do need to twist it back and forth more than a few times.
I havnt tried the oil yet sounds like a good way to go.

Bev, I requested the Orbital blade sharpener for Christmas and am really happy with it. I throw a blade into it between cutting pieces for my quilts and it does a good job. (Link is just an example, I'm sure you can get it from a variety of places)

Bev I use the one you pictured and I got it at Joann's several years ago and I am on my second one I just bought recently. I love mine. It extends the life of my blades just fine. And I sew everyday so mine get a lot of use and my friend Dorothy who does my prep work uses one too and she loves it.
