______
For broken bustle feathers:
1. Cut another feather top to match the broken feather.
2. Burn a hot needle into both stems of the broken feather AND the new matching "replacement."
3. Get a new needle and insert in the holes of the broken and new matching replacement and super glue together.
4. Get an new stem, cut away the plumage of the feather.
5. Match the width of this stem with where the break is.
6. Cut the new stem into a 2 1/2 inch length and splice in half.
7. Hot glue the spliced stem to the back of the feather break.
This will save you from breaking down the bustle and adding a new feather.

I personally would not save a roach feather. I would just find another matching feather and replace it.
