As Aaron points out, changing stitch type really increases the count,  
which
in turn raises the price you have to charge.
BUT, look at it this way...I now have a good account, small but worth  
it. Local
limosine company brought in his satin jacket 2 years ago...name on  
the back
in satin stitch, probably 1 1/2" or taller letters. Half of them had  
pulled right out
when something would catch the threads. Not even a couple months old  
and it looked
terrible!
So I remade his design, and did the split element on all the  
stitches. It's been 2 years,
and he has gone from just his one coat to 2 coats each for every  
driver (lightweight and
heavier 4 season jacket) and his wife, fatherinlaw, kids...and not  
one jacket has had
any stitching pull out yet.
So...here's the question...do the job faster and cheaper-and hand  
your customer to
another shop, or do it right the first time and delivery quality  
products?
