I was using my 24" ruler tonight and droped it and broke the corner off :cry: I didn't break it clean either. :(

Well that was a silly thing to do!

Can you sand it smooth and still use it, or not?

Oh No :shock:
I am so sorry :( :( :(

And I thought you were taking up knitting!! ;-)

That's so disappointing! :(

How much of the corner? Can you use the other side? Sorry it hurts to brea our tools of the trade... Got a BD or anv or ? comming sooooon? Put it on your wish list.

Funny thing - I broke mine as well..I got a huge crack in the middle on 1 size...not sure what happened.........

I broke my 24" ruler also. Oh, well. Replacing will have to wait. It is only one corner, and I have been using the other side. :roll:

Are you near a joann's store, a 50 percent off coupon came in the mail the other day and I bought me a new ruler!

Oh man! So sry :(

Don't you just hate it when that happens? So sorry!

I have been using mine with a chipped corner. I have the 50% of coupon too - thanks for the idea of using it on a ruler.

I got one at a quilt shop closing and one corner was gone. I paid $2 for an 18 x 18 omnigrid. For that price, with or without corner. When I get to need that side I just flip it around. Never had a problem.

I would have said more than Darn it!
I have 'potty fingers' @$^*(*$##@@

so sorry that must hurt.

Whoo Hoo! My son fixed it for me with clear movers tape and she is like new again!!

:cry: I understand this well

Doesn't that just want to make you spit :-( Been there, done that - I sanded it to round it off. I just realized that I have used my sander on more than one quilting tool ...

That is so sad. We hate to lose our tools.

If you have the pieces, put the pieces back in place wrong side up and then use a piece of clear strong packing tape to put over the pieces. I did that for one of my rulers until I could get another and I'm still using it. It works great for a crack in a ruler too. It doesn't interfere with moving the ruler on the fabric.

I have a friend who always got rulers with her 40/50% off coupon if she didn't find anything else in the store. She's got a very nice ruler collection now. :D

Sorry yours broke but glad you have a wonderful son to have fixed it for you!
