Quilting Ruler broken...any ideas???
I am looking for any help you can offer. I have a plastic ruler 22 X 6 that is in two pieces.
Is there anyway I can glue this and keep using? If so what kind of glue should I use. I like this
ruler, waited several weeks for it to arrive in the mail, and when I unwrapped it,,,,,there it was in two pieces!! The woman I bought it from just said keep it, and refunded my money....I want to use the ruler!!

Why don't you look on Ebay for a replacement. I have purchased great buys in rulers on Ebay, also SewItsForSale, a Yahoo forum. sorry to say, glue does not work on these rulers. You can try, but I have never had any luck.

The good news: Super Glue works perfectly on acrylic, bonds in seconds and never comes apart.
The bad news: Super Glue bonds on acrylic looks terrible, your measurements may very well be inaccurate, and your edges may have jigs in them.

I have a broken ruler that I wrapped with clear packaging tape. Still works great! (And I actually wrapped the whole ruler in the packaging tape because the painted numbers and marking were wearing off. It's my favorite ruler and I can't find another one in the same size. 4" x 16" )
