Open the Calculators tab (Stitch Pricing, or Thread & Backing Cost for thread, bobbin, and stabilizer) and enter the design's stitch count and your machine speed to see time per piece and a stitch-based price. Every studio also has Team & Bulk Quote, Price Sheet, Capacity Planner, and Craft Fair Booth Planner.

Add your embroidery machine on the Machines tab with an hourly rate.

On Products & Pricing, price a new product with the Machine Embroidery or Embroidered Patch method: blank, stabilizer and thread supply lines, a machine-time line from the stitch time, and hooping labor.
