*What is a 2.0 or 2.1?* A 2.0 is a  new pattern . Just like a new edition of a textbook, a 2.0 (or a 2.1) version of a pattern features the newest content and best techniques we have to offer. Updates may include improvements in the instructions, layout, illustrations, and/or changes to the finished project itself in order to make it more functional or easier to make. The 2.0 versions may also include Add-on Videos to ensure your success. A 2.0 is  not a correction . We are improving the pattern. Every 2.0 goes through the same process as an entirely new pattern. Although we recommend that you upgrade to the 2.0, we know that you will be able to make something you will be proud of using the original pattern.

Black Soft and Stable enhances those darker colors, making them look more rich and intense. ​Sometimes in the construction of a purse or bag, the layer of Soft and Stable may show (such as when a zipper is installed). If we are using dark fabrics, we'd prefer not to have a white line showing along the edge of the seam. ​Black Soft and Stable is slightly thinner than white Soft and Stable so if you have a machine that has trouble with thicker layers, you may find it easier to work with black Soft and Stable. ​Finally, though the changes are cosmetic only and won't aff

It is not necessary to pre-wash your fabric, as it gives you a nice "stiffness" when you're attaching it to your Soft and Stable. However, if you are concerned about the colors in the fabric bleeding, then you might want to pre-wash it.
