In the center of the magazine is a pull-out patterns section. The pages are set up so that a person can cut the patterns directly from the sheets instead of tracing them onto something else. There are advertisements but they are presented in a way that they don't distract from the main features. Towards the back of the magazine is the Classifieds section for various things. After that is Crafting 101, a one page tutorial for basic tips and techniques for all kinds of crafts.
Stuff has a list of resources, companies and a basic stitch pictorial.
