Tuesday Tips with Kimberbell | Stitching Borders

[@macscotter9458]

Thank you Kim for demoing this technique! I’m so very grateful that my friend Robyn got me hooked on your quilt in the hoop projects! I look forward to watching your live each Wednesday and I feel so inspired by what you share! What a great new community of sewing and embroidery to belong too. I’ve had machine embroidery in my life for 20 years and for the first time, I feel like it’s as exciting as sewing! Thank you!!!

Thank you Kim.It’s amazing what these embroidery machines can do.

[@janetrathbun9260]

Kim- Excellent tutorial -Thank so much. You are so helpful!

[@cindiludlum9837]

Hi, Kim! I’ve watched and re-watched this video-and all your others!-and have found the tutorial so helpful! I’ve bought all the quilting designs and am having too much fun using them on Kimberbell projects as well as others. As usual, the digitizers have done a phenomenal job creating and digitizing the various quilt designs. More fun techniques to do on your projects! I think I’m probably one of your biggest fans: I’ve been to 10 events, have almost every embroidery cd, and at least some yardage of almost every fabric. And your directions are the best in the business! Finally, I simply love the whimsical nature of your designs and projects. And right now, we need whimsy more than ever! Thanks! ❤️

Thank you Kim! I LOVE KIMBERBELL and the how to video for the borders is excellent! It works! Thanks again for all you do!

[@createwithconfidence8094]

Hi Kim and Bellas. Would you suggest using a continuous hoop for easy of "re-hooping." Thanks💖

[@stephanieolson1107]

NIce! Wondering how do you continue the design once you come to the end of the side border and want to attach it to the bottom border? Are you using a corner block with a design and then then continuing with the bottom border? And so on until you get around the quilt. Would be nice to see a finished quilt for an example! The border designs are a nice idea for finishing your quilts!! Thanks

[@cherylmazzoncini280]

Thank you for the info

[@joanie8240]

I haven’t tried any of your stabilizer. Would like to try the light mesh stabilizer. 53:12

[@Bjmoss_1]

Love the borders. Is there a way to save on stabilizer on the multiple hooping?

[@pegschr]

thank you kim, thank you thank you thank you! I love these quilting designs however the back fabric needs to be included somehow otherwise you've only quilted half of it and how are we going to attach the back fabric? In other words shouldn't the backing fabric also have been put into hoop because now how are you going to quilt the back of the fabric?

[@amysiemens5061]

I assume you piece the quilt and then put the backing on. Then stitch in the ditch to hold them together. I assume Kim is not putting the backing on when quilting, embroidery and appliqué is because of all the stitching and embroidery threads showing in the back. It is a pain in the neck to join all the blocks when the backing is on the blocks and to hide the seams because the blocks are not the same size.

[@madhatter4743]

@@amysiemens5061 that’s not what she is asking she is asking if you want to put it on the full quilt how can you make it look like a seamless quilt top. Most quilt designs allows for a start point for the next hooping

[@CherryBlossomHill]

@@madhatter4743 I believe the border strips are sewn together with the main quilt along the batting placement line, with no batting inside the seams, see power tools with thread, candy corn quilt shop video.

Welcome to Kimberbell, Stephanie. :)

[@amysiemens5061]

Hi Kim, I love your quilting designs. I tried one of you bored designs. I did the 5x7 size as a sample. The batting stitching was fine. The instructions said not to trim the batting. So I didn’t. I noticed you leave the batting down without tape and you didnt hold it down and yours stitched perfectly. Mine pulls as it does around the final side and goes off the batting. What am I doing wrong? When I do the fabric stitch down, it seems a little short using the measurements from the chart. Do I cut the batting smaller? I appreciate your doing these videos. Now I can see how you do it and try again. However, I’ve had the same issue with the block quilting as well. Hope you will answer as I got everything you’ve done so far because I love your designs and projects.

[@debbieridenour641]

Thank you for all your wonderful ideas! How do I get the download instructions for the borders? I can print the background block instructions but can't find the border part so my sizes don't seem to match border sizes??

[@carolynellerby8907]

What embroidery machine do you recommend, reasonably priced but also user friendly

[@rachelmccarthy2987]

It would be very helpful to understand how to do the next step on these. Specifically, I’m guessing you do the quilting, then embroidery work. Great, now how to piece? Are there any modifications? For the backing, I’m assuming you would recommend following along the blocks or some of the other designs?

Now I have to make more pillows

[@lynnewatson318]

Thank you for this tutorial! I am a new subscriber and am working on the Boo-levard pillow. Where can I find the written instructions with photos that Kim is referring to?

[@1Heimat]

Hi, there! Great video, as always. I have one (probably stupid) question. Where do I get those quilt borders? Is there a dvd or usb with all of your borders that I can buy?

[@KimberbellDesigns]

Hi, Gabi! You can find the designs from www.mykimberbell.com. :)

[@suecleek4251]

Thank you, Kim! I am excited to be able to use these designs on the Twilight BOO_levard pillow!!

Happy Stitching! :)

wish y'all did more 4X4 hoop 90 percent of people can not afford machines with the bigger hoops I priced them just the 5 X 5 hoop machine is over 1000.00 little high for me I am saving my money and one day I can afford a bigger hoop machine but I use my 4 X 4 machine a lot its over 7 years old and still working great and only paid 300.00 for it thanks for the video I did purchase some of you embroidery patterns from amazon I have the Christmas Ornaments 4X4 hoop size and love it thank you

[@lauriedunkley6073]

Donna DiMarco Campagne what about buying used...I like mine at a lot less

[@donnacamp5663]

@@lauriedunkley6073 where would I look to fine a used 5X5 machine thanks

[@lauriedunkley6073]

Donna DiMarco Campagne I found mine on eBay. There was a variety of used and refurbished. When I found my machine I conversed with the seller to see the history of it. She was selling her mom’s machine. Slightly used. I checked the brand out on google. I have enjoyed my phaff.

[@kathyhilding-zh5tw]

Is that the same technique you would use if you have to do multiple hooping for background quilting on blocks?

[@tinarhodes3956]

hi, have you done a video of how to complete the last part of the boarder or does it just finish half way through a part of the pattern?

[@barbaramangel4746]

Are your borders each piece a separate piece of fabric that we see together or are they presewn?

[@nalinapatel4881]

Very interesting but could you also haves alternative for people who do not have this way of sewing and can only hand sew

[@trudybantle6796]

HOW/WHERE DO I FIND THESE BORDER DESIGNS?

[@KimberbellDesigns]

Hi, Trudy! You can find these designs on mykimberbell.com :)

Where do I get the boarders

[@suzannejones9402]

Where do you get the quilting design

[@hopebooth4274]

I love love love Kimberbell, but I wish the video would stay zoomed in and cut straight to the point - maybe edit it a bit. It was painful to watch, but I needed the info - so I suffered through it.

[@jamersb2737]

I love this tutorial but the filming is terrible on this one. Shaky camera, bad zoom in and out and looking at paper instruction doesn’t help. If you could redo this one, it would be wonderful
