Sharpening rotary cutter blades....
I read that you can sharpen rotary cutter blades by folding up a piece of aluminum foil and repeatedly cutting it with the dull blade...several said it worked for them....has anyone ever done this and did it work foe you?

It works..I've used this several times. I am going to buy the Tru-Cut sharpener when I get paid for this quilt top I am piecing and I should finish it today if I could just get off this quilting board! LOL...

I tried sharpening blades with aluminum foil, and it ended up making the blade more dull than it was originally. The cheap sharpeners don't work for me either. I may try one of the new electronic sharpeners when I can afford it.
