Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kimberbell known for?

Kimberbell specializes in machine embroidery and quilting projects that are fun, fresh, and achievable. They are famous for their "in-the-hoop" designs, feature quilts, and seasonal decor. Their products often come as comprehensive design CDs or files, complete with detailed instructions that guide you through every step, making complex projects feel simple and rewarding.

What do I need to get started with a Kimberbell project?

To start a Kimberbell project, you'll need a few key items: an embroidery machine, the Kimberbell design files, and the right supplies. This typically includes various types of stabilizer (cutaway, tearaway, etc.), a colorful assortment of embroidery thread, and the correct size embroidery hoops for the design.

What are "in-the-hoop" projects like the "One Hoop Wonder"?

"In-the-hoop" means that the entire project, including quilting and finishing touches, is completed within the embroidery hoop on your machine. The "One Hoop Wonder" series allows you to create a fully quilted and finished block in a single hooping. It's a fast, precise, and incredibly satisfying way to quilt with your embroidery machine, often managed with powerful embroidery software.

Are Kimberbell projects good for beginners?

What is a Kimberbell "Embellishment Kit"?

An Embellishment Kit is a curated collection of specialty items designed to perfectly complement a specific Kimberbell project. Instead of you having to source all the unique buttons, ribbons, vinyl, and other cute notions, Kimberbell gathers them for you. It saves time and guarantees your finished project looks just like the picture!
