Some activities are easier for me when I remember to replace or get sharpened the following when they get dull or nicked!

Rotary blades - and I wonder why it's a struggle to cut when I have table knives with sharper blades on them?
Pins - they come in a variety of thicknesses - thicker ones are harder to push - real thin ones can bend
Needles - don't know where or when I got the idea that they would never get dull!
Scissors - even my Ginghers have gotten dull - and that was only cutting fabric with them!
Seam rippers - many styles are comparatively inexpensive
Thread cutters on sewing machines -
x-acto blaces (for cutting template plastic)
Single edge razor blades -
Box cutter blades - for opening up our boxes of goodies
Pencil sharpeners - (and pencils)

We really do operate in a sharp-edged and pointy environment!

Sharp tools (that are supposed to be shart) really are safer than dull ones!

I feel the same way, then when they're sharpened or replaced I wonder why I didn't think of it sooner.

I could always kick myself when I finally change the blade in my rotary cutter. And I always think "why didn't I do this earlier"? LOL I should know better by now!

Then there are the brand new titanium rotary blades that you nick the first time you use them. Two of them...first time used...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

You are too funny! Now when I wonder if I should change blades I will think of your quote.

Ditto! I think we've all been there, at least once!!!!

It seems as though whenever I replace my rotary cutter blade and I think why did I not do this soon. Then the inevitable happens I nik my hand with it and I realize yes the new one is sharp.

I have done that too! Gotta remember to sheathe that blade when it's not in use!!!!!

My pins are plenty sharp. Can't even begin to count the times I'm stabbed myself, while trying to smooth out already-pinned fabric! Maybe I need to be sharpened.
