rotary cutter
I ran my rotary cutter over a safety pin (I know, I know) and now it has
a tiny nick in it. Consequently, it's not cutting a few threads on every pass. This is very, very annoying. Can I sharpen it somehow, or do I need to just get a new blade? The rest of it is still sharp. -- SML

rotary cutter
There are sharpeners available. Even with sharpening, the nick
will always cause a skip. Save that blade for paper crafts. Get a new one for fabric. PAT in Cold (down to 29 today!!)

rotary cutter
Easy solution - get a new blade.
If the blade is just new and you want to get some use from it try cutting twice - that will eliminate the threads that don't cut on the first pass. The sharpeners will only help put a temp edge back on a blade - they won't repair nicks or other "damage" -- Cheryl in Oz http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest cawaitesATnetconnectDOTcomDOTau "Sara Lorimer" wrote in message news:1h9tryd.sgevzv3s84cmN%que.sara.saraDELETE@gma il.com...
