Design Density – Learn the Number of Stitches Per Inch

Learn to calculate the number of stitches per inch in your embroidery designs to gain a new perspective on how dense they are.  Every design will have a number and you can use the stitches per inch as one of your guides on building your stabilizer recipe.  Designs with 2-400 stitches per inch are quite lite and average design will be from 500 to 1000 stitches per inch.  However you may encounter designs with a much as 20000 stitches per inch and the general idea is the higher the density the more stabilizer you may need to use.
