What does SPM mean in BUSINESS

SPM stands for Stitches Per Minute, which refers to the number of stitches that a machine can sew in one minute. It is generally used to measure the performance and speed of a sewing machine, with higher numbers indicating a more powerful machine that can sew faster.

The measurement of SPM typically involves attaching a looped thread around the needle's eyelet, setting the speed to one stitch each second, then at three minutes later counting the number of stitches made from start to finish.

The type of fabric being sewn on affects the SPM rate because thicker fabrics require more time for each stitch than thinner materials do. For example, thicker fabrics such as denim may cause your stitching to take longer than on lighter fabrics like muslin cotton or silk.

Several factors can affect how quickly your machine sews including its motor power and speed settings as well as how many layers your material has and its thickness. Additionally, various types of decorative designs stitched into fabric take longer than simply doing an all-over pattern with no specifics or details included.
