My impression was that the site was not for beginners. Some of the articles are 
pretty advanced. And that impression seems to be supported by the words of the 
editor herself in her response to this list. In fact, the people that I know 
who subscribe to it are quite advanced costumers who would gain nothing from a 
beginning site at all. 

But, as always, ymmv.

I'd say "beginning costumer." I think they are right in focusing the site on 
costuming and not on sewing basics per se--too much competition from 
established sewing magazines. I'm not really in their market, but obviously 
they need to do what they think will sell the largest number of subscriptions.
