Embroidery stitch time calculator

Estimate stitching time with speed, pauses and efficiency.

Enter your values and calculate.

The formula

Stitching time = stitches ÷ (speed × efficiency / 100). Then add thread changes × minutes per change, plus setup and finishing. The default efficiency is an editable assumption, not a benchmark.

Use your own sample

Short stitches, trims, bobbin changes and interruptions can slow a design. Time a sample and use the result to adjust efficiency. Do not promise a delivery time from maximum machine speed.
