Glad you got some answers. Too technical for me!

Wow; ask and ye shall receive. I hadn't even thought to ask this question. Thank you for asking,and thank you for the answers!!

thanks - great info

thanks for the info

I am so glad this info was here. I am getting ready to do 150 designs of hearts and bells for a wedding. Now I know how much thread to order!! Hugs, Mary

Another way of figuring, the free Tajima program has a page that will tell you how much thread of each color you need, and you can even put in the amount of money you want to charge per 100 stitches (or something like that) and it will figure the price for you. I'd put the link, but it's totally missing from my brain at the moment. For a free program, I like the features.

I don't know about the 1,000 meters but I did check into how many average stitches can be stitched using the 5,500 yard cones from Madeira when I was ordering a lot of thread thread that needed to be in the same dye lots. I found out it was 1 million.

I am in the US and don't use metric but you might use the metric conversion chart at the link below to help you. This is a good link to save for many uses.

Thanks for asking this question and thanks to all for the links. This group is amazing. Lynx

300 metres gives approx 60000 stitches. I wrote this down from a 'post' on this site a few years ago.

Very nice info here.
