Yeah, I visited my local HF yesterday. They had just 3 packs of two left. I grab all three. My son ask me what I wanted those for. I explained to him that the regular rotor blades in a fabric shop are $8-$9 each and these were $1.49 for two. I do have a question though for those who have used these. Do they cut into your mat? I really would not like to ruin my selfhealing mat.

Thanks for this info. I will go to my HF and see what they have locally. Also, another thing I purchased at HF was a 4" magnetic parts tray for my pins. Does not affect my computerized machines at all and I believe it was $1.99.

I'd rather get the two for $1.49! There has to be some kind of knife sharpener that would do the same darn thing! Lots of money for that I think. Edie

I have yet to find one that worked. They all sound good until you get them home and try them.

I purchased 5 sets (there were 10 but I didn't want to take them all) today ...
My husband looked at me funny until I told him what I wanted them for ... and he said ... "The fabric won't know where you bought them so there is no difference" :D
I also found some gloves for quilting for $2.00 ... it's got the rubber grips on them already ... I love Harbor Freight!

Gee Hope, the quilt is made up of many different blocks some are designed by Diane Johnson, others from magazines and the bird bathe was from an ad that I blew up and added my own birds from yet another pattern. I made it for my mum as a surprise which she saw first time at our quilt show. It took several times told before she realized that it was hers. I did that a few year later with a big cross stitch of a lady in a hat. I like doing things like that for her.
