Stabilizer Spotlight: Flexi Foam

Written by Jenny Lyman | Jul 28, 2023 3:00:00 PM

What is Flexi Foam?

Kimberbell Flexi Foam is a Specialty stabilizer that's used with Tear-Away, Cut-Away, and Wash-Away on a variety of projects.  It's soft, springy, and just the right thickness to provide substance without being hard to stitch through. (In fact, you'll find it's very easy to stitch through!)

Why Use Flexi Foam?

Flexi Foam adds flexible shape and a poofy dimension to machine embroidery projects. I love Flexi Foam beneath applique...it's so much fun to touch because it's satisfyingly squishy.

We use Flexi Foam on many Kimberbell projects. For example, we added a layer beneath this Velveteen pumpkin to make it puff out. (I just love the result!)

In case you're wondering, this design is one of the bonus projects that comes with our Falling for Autumn feature quilt. (It's the Pumpkin to My Pie Tea Towel.) 😍

But  Flexi Foam isn't just for applique. We also use it for bags, purses, frames, and more! Flexi Foam is wonderful for a variety of both sewing and machine embroidery projects. 

How is Kimberbell Flexi Foam Different?

As with our other stabilizers, Kimbebell Flexi Foam is thoroughly tested on every brand of embroidery machine. We use it a LOT, so you can be sure this product meets our super-high standards of quality.

Where Can I Find Kimberbell Flexi Foam?

Find Kimberbell Flexi Foam at your favorite quilt shop! Since this is a Specialty stabilizer, be sure to look for the GREEN label. 

I hope you have a lot of fun with Kimberbell Flexi Foam.  Be sure to watch for more Stabilizer Spotlights over the next several weeks! 😀
