I've never found that turning the blade over helped. I've heard of the used blades exchange, but never tried it. I buy my blades in the 5 pack when they are on 40% or 50% off. I have used the sharpening tool, but did not find it successful. Had DH do the sharpening, thinking I was doing it right.

I go to a J. Hittle website to order my rotary blades. I can get generic blades 10/$14.90. I have ordered serveral things from this site. http://www.jhittlesewing.com/sewing/catalog.php

I have purchased blades from lpsharp, all the time. The used ones, to me don't last as long, as new ones, but in this economy, save where you can.
