I see others have used Fiskars and are happy with them. I feel like I only get half the use out of them as Olfa. Ebay usually has Olfa for a fairly good price. I might try Harbor Freight sometime, but I cut a lot of nylon tricot with them so not sure how they would hold up. I bought a rotary sharpener at Joanns and it works ok. They are never as good as new, but they work good for awhile. Especially if there is just one spot that won't cut.

I like the Harbor Freight ones.I'm not going to pay that kind of money for the other ones.I wonder if all one company make the blades and just put extra marks on the other blades.

I have researched Joann's current sale. There are actually more brands that I realized.
Singer is 6 for 12.99 =2.17 ea Clover is 5 for 12.49 =2.50 ea Omnigrid is 5 for 13.49 = 2.70 ea Ergo is 5 for 11.49= 2.30 ea Olfa is 10 for 28.49 = 2.85 ea Fiskar is 5 for 12.99 = 2.60 ea Olfa is 5 for 17.49 = 3.50 ea |
Joann's is having a good sale this weekend, also. Rotary blades are on sale and they have a promotion code to get free shipping when ordering online. I put in an order for some much needed items today using the free shipping. Lot's of things on sale. Easier than fighting the Black Friday crowds. Just go to their web site and you can print off a 60% off coupon for instore or a code for online. You might want to check this out.

Karol, Is that quilt on the left a Kaye Wood pattern? If not she has one that is put together just like yours! It's beautiful by the way!
|
I love the block on the left its beautiful, I buy my blades through eBay I bought the last set of 5 blades for $12 incl shipping
|
No, not Kaye Wood. It is from a book called ABC 3-D by Marci Baker.
|
All I've ever used is Olfa. I really like them. Since they seem to be more expensive, I only buy them when they are on sale somewhere.

I haven't had any problems with the HF blades, but if you don't want to buy them or have tried them and didn't like them, try L.P. Sharp. They're great people and have fantastic customer service.

I always use the Fiskars, mainly because of the price. I do usually get them at JoAnn's using a 40% coupon--but I recently saw that they are carrying them again at Walmart--I think a 5 pack was @ $15 there (JoAnn's 5 pack is @ $25).
