Could there be anything better to create with than fabric and words? Teresa Coates doesn’t believe there is. As the senior editor for WebCents, as well as a writer and editor with FabShop News, Teresa spends much of her time focused on those two things, with a side dish of Internet enthusiasm. She is an avid sewist and social media zealot. She can be reached via email at teresa.coates @fabshopnet.com.
