I had figured you were in that ballpark...I based mine on using regular hoops,
and what our 'real' production time ends up.
Allowing for hooping time, marking up shirts with chalk for alignment point,
cutting and setting backing, then trimming the shirts afterwards and removing
chalk-a one person operation should be able to do an average of one item every
10 minutes. Only time I have gone faster was using the speed clamp (slimline)
system, with backing and solvy coming off a 'spool' or strip-instead of
individually cutting each piece for each beanie. Then I was able to do 50
beanies, about 3800 stitches-in under 3 hours. But my wife still couldn't keep
up with that for snipping off thread ends and removing excess backing and
solvy-so another hour or so.-realistically, I think it took 4 hours-about 12-15
per hour. But it was all 1 color thread so it went fast.
On shirts, I figure a good hour is 6-8 shirts if I have them all ready to go
(marked and unbuttoned) before I start. Optimum speed, no problems, no thread
breaks, easy backing removal and cleanup, then I could see 12 an hour but it
has never happened. Like doing hats at 1300 spm...yeah, I did a couple...but
get 1 thread break and all your time saved is down the tube. 900 spm, no thread
breaks-production is faster.
Now screenprinting...THAT I can leave dust trails behind me-by hand, I've done
100 waterbased ink shirts in one hour..partially cured and stacked to go
through the conveyor-which couldn't go as fast as I could. Plastisol inks- top
speed, small image, right into the conveyor-50-60 an hour tops. Multi color-25
or so. Much faster than embroidery...but not as pretty!
