Enter the total metric setting of the device and the into the Stitches Per Inch Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Stitches Per Inch. 

Stitches Per Inch Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Stitches Per Inch.

SPI = 25.4 / MS

Variables:

  • SPI is the Stitches Per Inch (stitches per inch)
  • MS is the total metric setting of the device 

To calculate stitches per inch, divide 25.4 by the metric setting of the device.
