   Thanks! How often do you change your blades?

     Marlene,
     That really depends on your trimmer and how much you use it . You can tell by the blade when it cuts whisper white card stock, If it’s frayed on the cutting edge of the card stock that’s a big sign it’s time for a new blade .
     Hope this helps 🙂
     Hugs
     Dawn

    Dawn, For a more permanent strip, you could also try to use some tape from the Brother PT Label maker, instead of the card stock. It would be less bulky & it already has adhesive too! You could probably get it out of the machine plain, but it comes in different colors & widths too! 😉 It comes in a cartridge form. Just a thought!

    Thanks for that wonderful tip.

    Unfortunately I have a rolling cutter and haven’t found easy way to cut slits with it. My husband bought is in the 90’s as a gift. But I have marked my card stock lightly with pencil and then lined it up in my score tool and using an cutting knife cut my slit. NOT as easy are your method.
