Curious about Cuddle®? Inquiring about Embrace®?
Join Teresa as she shares her insight on working with Cuddle® and Embrace®, knowledge drawn from
teaching more than 100 classes specializing in these fabrics. Learn which notions to stock for your
customers, ways to upsell with the right tips and tricks, and the inside scoop on what your customers are
asking for when they buy these fabrics. Be sure to register, space is limited. Sunday 9:45am -10:30am.
Teresa Coates is the Event and Education Coordinator for Shannon
Fabrics. Known for the luxuriously soft Cuddle® fabrics, Shannon Fabrics
brought Teresa on board two years ago as the company’s national
educator. With 30+ years of sewing experience and more than two
decades as a quilter, Teresa has an array of knowledge and skills that
she uses in her workshops with both quilters and sewists alike. For the last
decade she has been teaching at local stores, regional conferences and
national events, sharing insight on the best tools and techniques for sewing
with a wide range of fabrics. These days, she specializes in teaching others
how to easily work with Cuddle®, Luxe Cuddle®, Embrace® and other
fabrics that can be intimidating to those not yet in-the-know.
