Blades
Right now, we primarily have type B Blades. For most purposes, please stick with the following.
- Light Blue: Fabric. Will not adjust automatically, so you will need to set it to the right number based on what the program tells you.
- Black with threading: Rachet. Will not adjust automatically, so you will need to set it to the right number based on what the program tells you.
- White with the numbers that look like a ruler: auto blade. If your settings are right in the program it should adjust it properly for you.
