nearly 2.2 million... yes, that is 2,200,000 stitches.... great for a machine that only holds 2 million in its memory.... and even better when you consider that a floppy only holds about 200k. Thankfully we used a USB memory stick so we did not have to split it down quite that far!
56 hours of machine time at an average speed of 650 per minute... this includes setup times for the initial fabric being sashed, threading, all bobbin changes... loading of each of the design elements, etc.. so total time of 56 hours. And every 12 hours or so we would have to unsash and pull back the fabric to oil those areas on the arm..... then resash and line up the embroidery.
