I think this is simply brilliant! I got to see a prototype of this product and an explanation of how it worked. Kimberbell is doing videos that will be available to customers soon but in her own words….

Quilt your projects in-the-hoop with professional results! With Kimberbell Clear Blue Tiles™, it’s easy to stitch through a quilt sandwich of top fabric, batting, and back fabric. Choose allover quilting for a continuous flow, or customize each block with a different design! Because they have the same scale, you can use a variety of tiles on the same project. If you love traditional quilting and would love to do it on your embroidery machine, Kimberbell Clear Blue Tiles are the solution you’ve been waiting for. Our Clear Blue Tiles Essentials Set includes 26 finished block and border tiles, 2 water-soluble pens, 2 slap bands, the Clear Blue Tiles User Guide, and a USB with 372 embroidery files and our exclusive Seasonal Table Runner project. Start with the Essentials Set, then add our Expansion Set for larger hoops!

Add to your Clear Blue Tiles™ collection with our Expansion Set! Perfect for larger hoop sizes, the Expansion Set includes 20 Clear Blue Tiles and 2 water-soluble pens. Because they have the same scale, you’ll easily mix and match these larger Clear Blue Tiles with those in our Essentials Set!

You’ll need the Clear Blue Tiles Essentials Set KDTL105 to use this Expansion set.

These sets are due to arrive around Labor Day – just in time to teach your customers how to quilt their holiday gifts!
