Calculating Embroidery Thread Consumption

Calculating embroidery thread consumption involves determining the number of stitches in a design, the stitch type used, thread type, and number of colors. The amount of needle thread typically amounts to 2/3 of total thread use, while bobbin thread is 1/3. Thread use can be calculated by multiplying the number of garments, stitches in the design, and a conversion factor based on the average thread used per 1,000 stitches. An example calculation is provided to demonstrate how to estimate thread needs for an order of 4,000 pieces with a design containing 4,500 stitches each.

Calculating Embroidery Thread Consumption

Calculating thread consumption is a important part of cost calculation and garment


manufacturing. In our earlier post we have written about garment sewing thread calculation.
Second impartment area is embroidery thread calculation which we will review
here. Embroidery thread calculation depends of some parameters like stitch type, thread
type, no of colors, no of stitches in design.

Generally Embroidery machines work with stitch type 301, the lock-stitch. With the optimal
adjustments of all the parameters it should amount to a shared proportion of 2/3 needle
thread and 1/3 bobbin thread. On average the thread usage can be calculated as seen
below

per 1.000 stitches needle thread 4,6 m bobbin thread 2,3


m

Example of Embroidery Thread Calculation :-

Number of Pcs 4,000 pcs

Stitch qty in the embroidery design 4,500 (stitch) ( how to estimate the stitch amount of an
embroidery design?)

Length of thread in the cones 5,000 meter

Stitch length 4 mm (stitch length depends on design and stitch type)

Calculation:

= Number of Garments qty X Number of stitch X 4 / 1000 / meter per cone.

= 4,000 X 4,500 X 4 / 1,000 / 5,000

= 18,000,000 X 4 / 1,000 / 5,000

= 72,000,000 / 1,000 / 5,000


= 72,000 / 5,000

=14.4 cones
