I think it really depends on the digitized file. I expect zero threadbreaks too, but I can usually predict that by the design I'm using.

We do it ourselves consistently. Heck, a simple 7000 stitch design on 50 items is 350000 stitches .... and I expect to stitch those 50 items without any thread breaks. I have seen this 116,000 stitch design at http://www.westway.citymax.com/catalog/item/2870780/2366342.htm stitch out without a single thread break [and it even uses some metallic thread]. Out of curiosity, it would be interesting if other members of the group let us know how many stitches they expect and get between thread breaks ? Have a great evening.
