Oh my yes! It will magically appear as soon as you walk into the house with the new one.

I have folded parchment paper, like a folder. Also can use the paper after you peel it from the adhesive.

Worse is the mess after the search. I am like a dog digging through the dirt for a bone.

Happens to me all of the time. I use freezer paper and it works just fine. Hope you find you pressing sheet.

Went for a final look before I phoned the police and there was the car, just where I'd left it. Go figure!

The car park didn't happen to be in a Sunderland did it?

No, it was in Watford I'm sure there are many similarities though...

substitute pressing sheet

My pressing sheet was purchased as an Oven Liner at the (big box) lumber center. It's a teflon sheet that is heat resistant to 500 degrees. I have found them in tan, black, and white. I think the purchase price was $2 on sale.

Can't guarantee that it won't get lost though.

LOL, this is one that hits so close to home. Just last month I was doing the same thing, tearing through my quilting closet looking for my pressing sheet. Never did find it so ended up buying another at LQS when I was there a couple of weeks later. I know it will appear when I least expect it to. Then last week I was looking for a spool of thread that was for my hand applique I'm working on, again couldn't find it, went through thread bins 3 times and then an aha moment it was on my sewing machine I use for quilting classes.
