DS counts every stitch. Amaya deletes Jump Stitches, as there is no such thing to an Amaya machine, and also will depend on the Design Filter Settings for Short Stitch as well. The Design Filter Settings in AmayaOS will effect all designs loaded into a machine. Send me the file you are using, I can probably give a more exact explanation. As far as the count to use when billing or estimating, I would always use the higher count. This is what someone with a different machine would use as their machine would probably count the jumps and short stitches, and why should you use the lesser just because you own an Amaya? You are in business to make money, do not be afraid to charge accordingly.
