SPM
Stitches per minute
Description
A unit of measurement indicating the operating speed of an embroidery or sewing machine.
Detailed explanation
Stitches Per Minute (SPM) is the standard unit for measuring how quickly an embroidery machine executes a design. While commercial machines offer higher SPM capabilities for faster production, operating at maximum speed is not always suitable for every project. Adjusting this rate allows for better handling of delicate threads, intricate patterns, or challenging fabrics without compromising stitch quality.
