I wondered if there is a formula for figuring out how much thread is needed
for a design. I know each design gives the amount of stitches--so if a
design uses 9000 stitches, how many of these could I get in an 1100m cone?

This is from threadpro.com:
HOW MANY STITCHES PER SPOOL?
Spool Size Approximate number of stitches per spool
219 yd (200 m) 40,000 stitches
500 yd (456 m) 91,000 stitches
1500 yd (1643 m) 273,00 stitches
5500 yd(5000 m) 1,000,000 stitches
To calculate the amount of thread needed for embroidery use:
182 stitches per yard of thread
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I do not think that is possible to provide that type of
information through a direct count of the stitches. This is due to the
fact that not each stitch in any embroidery design is the same length.
If you are using a satin stitch, the length could be a very different
length than a fill stitch. The only place I have ever seen this type of
information provided is in a digitizing program such as Origins(tm).
When you create a design using the software it knows which type of
stitches are being used and therefore can give an approximate
calculation of the amount of thread used for the design.
