I use Elmers washable school glue and touch it with an iron to dry it. If it doesn't match up on the first try, it separates easily with a gentle tug to reposition and reglue.
I line up the points with a straight pin stuck in the points as mentioned in other replies, then glue and iron. If the glue is dry, I haven't noticed any gunking of the needle.
This is exactly what I use, and I have never had it gunk up on my needle. Drying it first with the iron sets the glue. A tiny drop is all you need to hold it in place :wink: It IS easy to pull apart if you need to reposition it.
Try it on some scraps, I think you will be pleased with the results :D:D:D
