Sewing time and bobbin

Estimates at your machine’s speed, counting trims, colour changes and stops — and the bobbin thread a design uses.

Updated October 19, 2026

The status bar shows the sewing time; the export dialog and the print view add the bobbin thread the design will use. Both are estimates at your machine’s speed — set it under File ▸ Properties… ▸ Production ▸ Machine speed (stitches/min) — with pauses for trims, colour changes and stops.
