“Erin Matthew Sewing moved to a new brick and mortar store on March 3, 2020 – and was closed down within 10 days due to COVID. We started offering Virtual classes as soon as allowed. Virtual classes provided the opportunity to reach new customers throughout the US. Many of my customers have said the local fabric store near them has closed or the customer lives in a remote location far away from any store. In addition to participating in events they also purchase additional Kimberbell supplies, fabric and notions. We pay special attention to our virtual customers and we have become great friends. We use Zoom as a platform for our events and have had no difficulties with technology. We use Canon Rebel camera to ensure a great visual experience for our customers. I now have customers throughout the country.”

Kimberbell events have opened up a whole new avenue for us here at Heavenly Stitches in Lima, OH. We became certified in March of 2020 and as everyone knows it was a bit challenging to get up and going! We jumped in feet first and kinda figured it out as we went along. Our very first event was Vintage Flora and I was a nervous wreck teaching it, but it went so smoothly thanks to the Kimberbell team and their wonderful kits and shop support! We have since done 8 other events, 1 of which was a “Shop created” Kimberbell Sewing event. We created this event for those of our customers who love to sew and quilt but have no interest in Machine Embroidery. We used the Kimberbell “Cuties” book and made kits and had everything ready for them so much like the embroidery events they could walk in, sit down and CREATE! The pop-up shop at our first event was pretty scarce, but now we have nearly the entire line of Kimberbell CD’s, Embellishments, Blanks and all the other goodies that Kimberbell creates! Our customers always rave about the events and we do very well with offering a small discount for the pop-up shop items. Thank you Kimberbell for your continued support of us small shops and PLEASE keep the creative juices flowing!!

I was really skeptical about it, but I figured that I’d give it a try. Best $99 ever! So many projects, and the box includes everything you need. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all.

“We are a very small shop with my husband and I running the shop, and two part timers a few hours a week. My customers love virtual. We want to continue as many are at risk, do not have a local shop, or have heavy machines. We have embraced the virtual opportunity and it has paid off for us.”

Yes!!! You just cannot beat the value of the Bella Box! It’s like a fully catered in-house pajama party with thousands of your best friends!

I’m ecstatic my Bella BOX arrived today. Everything is beyond my hopes and dreams this grown women was brought to tears, I will never miss an opportunity to purchase a Bella BOX!

These are so wonderful, a group of us has decided to get together and take a day to do them together like a class. Can hardly wait for it to come. They are sooo worth the money.

“Kimberbell has been one of the best investments to grow our LQS. Kim and her staff care about the little shop owners. They support us and share ideas to help grow our business. They believe in us. They treat us like family. Our business has grown tremendously since becoming a Kimberbell Certified Shop.”

“I love everything about the Bella Box. The excitement when we order followed by the bonus designs we receive, the anticipation of the unknown actual contents in the box, the joy when it arrives, seeing the amazing projects when we open it, and the thrill making the new designs by Kimberbell. It doesn’t get better than this.”

“Kimberbell makes the cutest designs! I especially love how clear, easy and precise their instructions are to follow.”

“Kimberbell designs are like Oreos, you get one or two and that leads to more!”

“The virtual events have sent our sales through the roof! Our lead Kimberbell Educator has expanded our customer base and converted some of our long time customers into Kimberbell fans! Our customers LOVE staying at home and not lugging machines into the shop. This has been a great thing for our shop! Thank you!”
