Tuesday tool time reminder

Reminder to self: change the rotary cutter blade!
After repeated burrs and pulled threads,
I changed the blade on my cutter
and now it cuts beautifully.
 
I stock up on blades when they're on half price,
so it's not like I don't have them,
I just forget to change them!
 
But I can't remember the last time I changed the blade
and I've squared up numerous quilts recently.
 
Note to self: get out Sharpie and mark the date on the blade!

I too forget to change the blades often enough. I have several cutters around my sewing spaces, and often I don't realize how bad a blade is until I switch to a different cutter. Great tip marking the blade!
