Look for something else...it'll pop up. always works for me!

Oh Boy, sounds like me. I usually look for something else, and guess what appears, especially when I am about to give up on finding anything. I have done this several times, and it appears to work. Of course some of the time, it does not. Good Luck, hope you find them, but to be sure, when you buy them again, they first ones will be right where they should be.

Yep, no sooner do I ask someone to resend a document or I repurchase an item, does the original magically reappear. I went on a hunt for rotary cutter blades last night - finally found them in the first place I looked... at least the ones I put in my Amazon cart will eventually get used anyway - always good to have extras on hand.

As soon as you buy them, you will find them. Always works for me.

Go buy them again BUT keep the sales slip - cause as soon as you buy them - you will find the other ones!!!! That always happens to me - and now - you too.

I've been searching the house over the past few weeks for my Harriet Hargrave Quilter's Academy series. Finally found the last book - 1 - now in my tote - was under a stack of fabric, 2 - under a stack by the bed, 4 - on the low bookshelf stacked horizontally (this is actually the one I knew where to find), 3 - on the shelf above number 4 - at the end, so if I had just looked up from my sewing chair, the cover was staring me in the face... this is the one I've been most worried about having to replace.

Perhaps if you don't look so hard for it, it will show up. And congrats on your great fabric score!

Ditto to losing quilt books. I bought a second copy of one and then found the missing one. I had had holes punched in the original and had stored it in a notebook. One day I picked up the notebook, and well, you know the rest.

You are so correct UFOs Galore - bought a pattern couldn't find it - bought another - the next day I found the first one!!

Perhaps your books are with my seam rippers - I can never find them and then suddenly I have 5!!

So...stop looking and look online for some tutes or maybe someone can refer you to some good ones. What kind of applique do you want to do ...hand or machine? The books are always good for easy reference but I find I learn more online. There are good instructions on this board too.
