Smart tip, thank you

That is very clever. I would have never thought of it. Another reason to be here. So many cuties with great ideas. Thank you ! Hugs.

Been doing that with scissors for years. So why not for rotary blades. Good thinking. And they say women are the weaker sex! HA

I hadn't thought of that one! Thanks!

I've been doing that for years. Save money that you use trying to find someone to sharpen them for you. I use it for my pinking shears and my curved ones. Must try it on my rotarys too. The are really dull.

Great tip,thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing this sharpening idea. Going to try it, as I'm sure everyone who read your post will. Thanks again.

Oh thanks for that hint. Mum has not long gotten into doing something patchwork and uses a rotary and she had mentioned that hers weren't cutting as well as they used to. I'll let her know of this trick . THANKS
Flowers for all !

thank you so much for kindley passing on this fantastic but oh so simple idea. Sometimes because we do a certain thing we automatically think that others know about it as well and it is simply not allways the case as this has proven. again many thanks

I, for one, have been enlightened. I am assuming this is aluminium foil? If so, I need to try this on my kitchen scissors. I put my old scissors in the kitchen, to cut up green onions.

Great idea thanks. Good to know when you live a long way from shops!!

Darn, I just threw one away yesterday.

Often do this on an old pair of pinking shears - works wonders

Thanks for the tip. How many layers do you use.. Marian

I heard this works with scissors also! Thanks

Can't wait to try it!

thank u for the tip have treid it on kitchen siccors and it is deffinitly working

Thank you very much, I keep forgetting to pick up a new blade.

Wow! Thanks! I just logged on ( I have been busy the last couple of days ).
This is very timely as I almost purchased new pinking shears when I went to Fabricland the other day..(I forgot :-)..whew! ) My heavy foil is the one with the silicone on one side...would this work as well I wonder??
Thanks again, Hugs & **, Nadyne

Great idea, thank you. How many layers of foil did you use?

Thank you very much for sharing this tip. Amitiés de France.

Many of you have inquired about the tin foil I use to cut this.I have just realized that some of you call it Aluminum Foil lol such a mouthful but we just call it tin foil. I use the one that says the strong one since we have different thicknesses of foil. If you have thin in the cupboard just layer your folds a bit more . I folded 6-8 times but I didn't count till I was asked the thinner it is the more you fold the thicker it is the less you need to fold. I hope this helps

This is very timely, I have fleece to cut and a dull rotary blade! Thank you!

This was actually on a show yesterday!!! It works!!! There were other uses for aluminum foil as well. Putting foil on ironing board under all padding with the shinny side up cutes ironing time in half. Putting 4 thicknesses under the legs of furniture (wrapping the excess up around the legs) makes the furniture slide without much effort one carpet...make sure the dull side of foil is exposed. Crumpling foil up in a ball makes an excellent pot scratcher for cooked on food removal. Sure opened my eyes...I only used it for the usual things like covering food in a bowl! Thanks for sharing!
