Kimberbell is known for highly creative machine embroidery designs and superior instructions. But did you know we also have tools?
Now, when I say "we have tools," I don't mean we carry tools like everyone else. I mean that we saw specific needs within this craft and actually designed our own tools to fit those needs.
And wow, Kimberbell Tools can completely change your creative life. (That's not an exaggeration!) Let's take a look at some of our favorites.
By now, you've most likely heard about Kimberbell Clear Blue Tiles. But are you wondering what all of the hype is about? 🤔 (Read on!)
Simply put, Clear Blue Tiles are a complete system for quilting on your home embroidery machine. The stitching goes through all three layers of a quilt sandwich (back fabric, batting, and top fabric), with traditional, continuous quilting on both sides of your project.
The Clear Blue Tiles system includes a variety of Finished Block Tiles and Finished Border Tiles. These tiles are templates that coordinate with Kimberbell background quilting designs.
Here's how it works:
With all Kimberbell background quilting designs having the same scale, you can use a variety of tiles sizes on the same project and achieve professional, finished results.

Clear Blue Tiles help you achieve the look of custom quilting in-the-hoop. This means you can completely finish your projects with your home embroidery machine, just like you used a long-arm machine!

Kimberbell Orange Pop Rulers have been around for a few years now, but they're still just as wonderful and life-changing today as they were when they first hit the shelves of your favorite quilt shop.
Orange Pop Rulers have an open frame that helps you visually center your embroidery or applique designs before you cut. The extended corner channels allow your rotary cutter to cut perfectly square corners!
Kimberbell Orange Pop Rulers come in square and rectangle sets in a variety of sizes, and each set comes with additional rulers as well.
Tip: Stand while using your Orange Pop Rulers and also use a rotating mat!
Orange Pop Rulers work beautifully for machine embroidery, sewing projects, and even hand embroidery. These rulers make it so much easier to center your designs and cut your blocks!
