I am always losing pieces and I haven't moved from the sewing machine. Yesterday I was doing some paper piecing and lost one of the sections. (still sitting at the machine) Looked all over- behind and under the machine, on the floor, in the waste basket - not to be found. So I traced a replacement and wouldn't you know when I finished sewing the section I found the lost one - where - In the waste basket right on top where I had looked before! I think all of us have had that experience once or twice - maybe more.
