Try to trace your steps if you can remember that day and you may find it. I've done that several times and found what I'm looking for. I also bought a pattern to make a table deco of hibiscus flowers for $10. and am still looking for it that killed me so several yrs later I purchased it again and walked in the house & right to my sewing machine. I hope I never come across that other one. I have a habit of picking papers up and putting them in between my fingers some for garbage, bills, etc. once even yrs ago threw out my hubby's paycheck luckily I went looking for it and found it before it went out so I have tried to be careful but things happen. Good luck finding you would think a ruler would be hard and easier to find. Sue
