How exciting! Went to my local Harbor Freight and felt like a kid in a candy store! I found different types and sizes of suctions for my rulers, a great box with lots of compartments for all those sewing attachments and little things that get lost in those "I know I will remember where I put it places" and then there are those blades! Package of two for 1.99 - I was a little embarrassed but I got 10 packages and there were at least twice that on the shelf!

What a great day!!!

I love to go into Harbor Freight. I usually spend more than my dh. I use the blades all the time. I probably have 40 packages hanging in my sewing room. I buy what they usually have when I find a store, as we don't have one here in VT.

I loved Harbor Freight before I got into sewing. Love the tools and all.

I love the tools as well - they all give me so many ideas for the big crafting stuff and home changes. My husband really likes that!

Don't forget to check you local paper (usually in Sunday coupon flyer) or mail flyer for 20 % off coupons that appear also every week. Also if you sign up on their internet account you will get sale info and coupons.

Never thought to check them for suction things for my rulers. Will have to remember that the next time I'm there.

They are going to have to seriously think about renaming the chain "Harbor Freight Quilting", don't you think?

They should also start carrying fabric - that would make it even more perfect! :-D

Lucky you! I went to harbor freight early Saturday morning I needed blades and they were wiped out so I bought the carpet cutter they are for and took the blade out when I got home. Next time I'm going to call and then buy as many as I can afford. It is a fun store to visit. I think the guys at mine are amused when women come into the store they seem extra helpful.
