I haven't seen that particular "toy," but at the last quilt show I went
to, there was a man who brought his equipment and sharpened blades while
you roamed through the show. A friend had seven sharpened at a cost of
$2.50 a blade (I think). She's happy with them, but she doesn't think
they last quite as long as a new, out-of-the-package blade.

I have heard of people who buy blades from Harbor Freight at a
ridiculously low price. I think the blades are sold as carpet cutting
blades, but they fit in our rotary cutters. I haven't heard any
follow-up on the purchases, so I figure they must work okay. You know
we'd hear about them if they didn't!

Good morning, Kate. Just wondering . . . are you the first quilter awake
or the last one to go to bed?
The sharpener sounds interesting but I am a coward. I am just barely
willing to change my rotary blade; will get somebody else to do it for
me if there happens to be adult supervision around.
Happy day to you - isn't our weather beautiful? Polly

Well its new to me. Have any of you had a chance to use the True
Sharp Power Rotary Blade Sharpener from the Grace Frame Company. Saw
the ad in a new quilt mag. Looked it up on their website and its
kinda pricey. I'd pay the price if it actually worked. Anyone see
this thing in action at a quilt show or LQS. If it actually works it
would save a bundle on blades.
