Example of Embroidery Thread Consumption Calculation :
Calculating how many cones thread we need to complete the 4000 pcs garments with the followings embroidery design.- Stitch qty in the embroidery design – 4500 (stitch)
- Length of thread in the cones – 5000 meter
- Stitch length – 4 mm (stitch length depends on design and stitch type)
= Number of Garments qty X Number of stitch X 4 / 1000 / meter per cone.
= 4000 X 4500 X 4 / 1000 / 5000
= 18000000 X 4 / 1000 / 5000
= 72000000 / 1000 / 5000
= 72000 / 5000
= 14.4 cones (ANS)
