Saving money on rotary blades
#11
I just buy my fiskar blades at walmart too. I use so many because I cut ans sew so much.
Someone on here, a while back suggested a deal of 10 blades for a cheaper price. I tried them and the dull fiskar blades cut much better than those.
From now on I will stick with fiskar.

I ordered the Ormkraft blades. They got here really fast. Think I will go and try them out. (5 minutes later) OMG they are SHARP!!! So Canadian pricing including tax and flat rate shipping these work out to less than $4 a blade. For those of you in the US they will be even cheaper.

The secret to the blade sharpeners is use them on a sharp blade to keep the blade sharp. Don't wait until the blade is dull. Ever see a knife lover not whet their knife blade before using? I sharpen a sharp blade before each cutting session. My blade last for months before skipping if I don't get a nick in it. The fist skip I replace it.

I like these, she has a money back guarantee and I have not had a bad one yet and the price is right. I have gotten into the habit of replacing my blades when I start a new project (I've been sewing lots of king and queen size lately) so I am happy with these and so is my fabric.

Try eBay. I once bought a "lot" (not "a lot ") of brand blades for $1 apiece. Haven't run out yet. Also more likely to get rid of a dull blade. I have a sharpener that buys a few more cuts but doesn't sharpen like new.

I still have several packages of the Harbor Freight blades that I will never use. In my humble opinion, they won't cut hot butter. Been checking websites for coupons for 40 to 50% off at Michael's, Hobby Lobby that I can use on blades plus ordering from Missouri Star, Quilt in a Day etc whenever they have a pack on sale. Currently I'm about 15 blades ahead of myself. If the blade isn't sharp I'm not a happy quilter!
