Have you changed your rotary blade recently?

I am so frustrated after I sent in two pxs of my first tee-shirt quilt. I followed the directions carefully (or so I thought) and all I see when I look into "My posts" is a thumbnail px of the quilt and a download to do for the back of the quilt. The thumbnail is not elargeable. I have no idea what when wrong. Worse yet, when I went so proudly to find my quilt picture, all I see are beautiful LARGE pictures of other quilts. Does anyone have any ideas what I might have done wrong or is it because I took the px with an iphone and sent it to my email on the computer????

I probably need to change mine. though it is not skipping or anything. I have a Martelli cutter and Martelli blade in it and I have cut out probably 20 quilts with this same blade!!! Lasts so much longer than when I was putting Olfa blades in it!!

Some will want to choke me but I change the rotary blade at the first skip! I don't want the hassle of cutting twice when all I need is to use a new blade. I use the Grace blade sharpener before every cutting session so I'm always sharpening a sharp blade. When it skips I don't mess with sharpening it any longer.
