I’m not a quilter, but I have made a couple of very simple quilts. Im beginning to do machine embroidery, and from your videos I see machine embroidery can be used for quiltmaking. I’m excited about the concept! And you explain things so clearly. Now to the find the video on one hoop wonders, part 2!

I’m hoping to finish “We wisk you a merry Christmas” quilt. I haven’t given up. I still love it. 😀

[@pamelafoster3343]

Your color system is brilliant. Match the colors to work together

[@kristylucey6383]

Great explanation! Thank you! I’m getting clear blue tiles for Christmas.

[@heidi678]

It took me awhile to settle into using them but now I love them. I use the block to block designs in all my Kimberbell projects-so handy!
Then I use the CBT’s on larger projects like wall hangings and quilts!
Thank you❤

[@franniegary2927]

Love how you color code everything. After working with KB FOR a bit, I know which method I’m looking at without thinking about it.

[@lynettepeterson7261]

You explained the difference between the Block by Block and the Blue Tiles method so well that NOW I finally get it. THANK YOU!!

[@janetrankin2939]

These would come in handy. I have never idea how many quilt tops I have done that need quilting. The possibilities are endless! I’ve been good Santa! ❤😊

[@donnabarshinger9627]

Very clear explanation, Kim. This will help a lot of people.

[@christinew3405]

Good clear explanation. Thanks.

[@JuJuDon2412]

Ok! That was SO helpful! I’ve been asking all those questions!

[@janetbarber8311]

That was very informative and helpful!

[@lorim2074]

Oh the possibilities are endless!!! Yessssss!!! ❤ I love my CBTs!!! I was hoping for more designs I could use with them!!! Now I understand the differences and I can't wait to finish more UFOs!!! I also can't wait to try out even more Kimberbell projects! Thanks so much for your wonderful tools and designs!!! Truly appreciated!!! ❤😂🎉

[@joyceklimist962]

I have a Wizard of Oz quilt that I would love to quilt with the Clear Blue tiles!!

[@gailyoung1428]

Thank you so much for explaining this!!

[@sherricafourek1168]

@Kimberbell Very helpful to know. Thank you so much for clarifying that.

[@hollygage2273]

I think hearing that with the orange block designs that have traveling lines, those lines will be sewn in the seams helped me the most.

[@Breezbug]

My aha moment was learning about traveling lines. I loved the clipboard demo. 😂 Great video.

[@cherylmalinowski7011]

Thank you for a great explanation. I get it now 👍🏻

[@dianetusler1892]

I so appreciated this video . now I will only buy the blue or dark gray designs so that I have a choice as to which method I want to use. Thank you so much.

[@deidrapowell8762]

Thanks for the video

[@janicedavis5503]

The moment I realized the difference between Clear Blue Tiles and Block by Block method was the word "travel" Got it. I received the Clear Blue Tiles last year for Christmas but have not used but will make the runner now that I understand what I need to do.

[@musicmom614]

Just watched the difference between the 4 colors of embroidery quilting methods. I now understand the difference. Do you have a tutorial on the border method of block by block.

[@0111vramj]

I'm new to quilting projects like this, can you please explain..... So why can't you put the "travel" lines/stitches in the basting box lines so they don't show when the blocks are sewn together? OR why can you just avoid the travel lines and put a STOP in to there is an "knot" at the end of each line, again in the basting box that would hide in once you sew the blocks together?

[@cherylgrider759]

I AM JUST A BEGINNER TRYING YOUR KIMBERBELL CUTIE TABLE TOPPERS, SO TO DO QUILTING ON THE WHOLE TABLE TOPPER I WOULD USE CLEAR BLUE TILES. CORRECT?😊😊😊😊

[@suedonnenwirth3269]

Starting to make sense 😂
