    Thanks for the info. My son in law is a carpet installer and he never told me about these, wait until I see him next week, boy is he in trouble especially when he knows how much I quilt.

    Glad I was able to help. Nothing like a good bargain these days. I also use a Drywall square when cutting, it hooks on the edge of my cutting table and I get a nice straight cut every time.

    They fit 45mm rotary cutters, I have a Fiskar's cutter.

    I have enough blades to last me a year now.
    THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE INFO

    Yes, they'll fit the 45mm Olfa!! I just checked mine. It has a round peg for the blade to set on so that's all the blade needs is a round hole. I'm going to my Harbor Freight tomorrow to see if they have any of the blades available since they're on backorder on the website. I'll probably go to the next town too to buy some there if they have them,lol!! I'm stocking up if I can!!

    Thanks! :-D I'll see if we have a local store.

    They must be fairly new...I've been ebaying and checking out carpet stores but to no avail. I have learned a little about tools though and various saw blades, and other carpet cutting tools! haha...I did see an interesting electric fabric cutter...very pricey.

    Magpie,

    I love the quilt in your avatar. I especially love the colors chosen, the four direction, how appropriate for a Lakota Star Quilt. I am 1/4 Lakota and 1/2 Saginaw Chippewa.

    I just called HF and they only have two packages left!
    I put them on hold and will get them tomorrow.
    4 blades will hold me for awhile. At least until they get another order.
