The Business Assistant is a utility to help you calculate the cost on a per item basis. Go to Tools->Business Assistant. Below is a picture of the Business Assistant dialog.
You may select the machine and hoop type. Values may be entered for a charge for each 1000 stitches and the maximum speed the design will be sewn at. You may also enter a price for any additional charges (for example a setup fee price).
Click the Calculate button to see the total sewing time (hours:minutes:seconds) and total price. The Business Assistant supports all monetary values supported by the Windows regional settings. Estimates from the Business Assistant are not available for printing at this time.
