I think it is about 11-12
I know, Barb, I need new glasses too! I know what: I'll mark out an inch or even 2 on some fabric, set the stitch length at 3 and count the number of times the needle goes thru the fabric! BRB...OK, I stitched thru and index card with 1/4 lines. 2.5 = 9 1/2 SPI (Stitches Per Inch), 3.0 = 8 SPI & 2 = 12 SPI. There now we know!
