Ruler Repair Tip
I was using my favorite arc ruler with my longarm and managed to get it under the hopping foot. The result of this was shattered chunk that left a nick in the side. This would be visible in the quilting because the foot dipped into the nick making a blip in the quilted curve. It wasn't an inexpensive tool so I wanted to try to repair it. I settled on using a uv cure adhesive. By adding a drop, curing with uv, then repeating the process, I was able to build up the gap beyond the surface. I then used a dremel tool and very fine sandpaper to bring the contact edge back to where it should be - continuous with the curve. This fix worked very well and was easy to do. I happened to find the uv cure adhesive at the local dollar store so it was cheap as well. I don't recall seeing this anywhere before so I thought I would share.
