Each purse has multiple versions including gauges for standard/Passap machines and mid-gauge/bulky machines. Some include simple stockinette directions as well as the featured pattern. Manual methods are included for hobby machines. Passaps cannot make the woven fabric used in Penny Pincher #1 but can make a purse of the same shape using slip stitch which will look similar.
