How long do you cross stitch? And how many stitches do you get done a day or week? I feel like I am so slow. I do maybe hundred a day if that and stitch maybe 2-3hours off and on .

My stitchy bug has taken a vacation so my count at the moment is zero.  I dont usually keep track of my stitches......... but more of my time spent stitching.
I usually stitch while watching the TV with my husband.

Cada uno tiene un rItmo de puntada diferente, lo importante es que la puntada sea uniforme y la velocidad se adquiere con el aumento de la experiencia

Im busy bee this week and have no time for cross-stitch. So my count for this week is zero as well as CraftyLouAnna :)

Im using Cross-Stitch Saga, it counts stitches for me. When I have time I do 100-120 stitches per hour.

I think the speed depends on how do you stitch. Im using a frame or Q-snaps  and both hands. So this is faster comparing with hoops and one hand (for me).

I stitch on average 3-4 hours per day when working on projects.  I havent figured out my stitches per hour for a long time and I dont get too hung up on the number.  Stitching is relaxing for me.  I stitch in the evening while watching tv with my husband.

I havent counted stitches in any sitting but I do stitch for hours at a time, mostly while listening/watching Netflix/Disney/Prime.

Its interesting to learn that people count stitches and that there is technology that will count them for you!  I never would have thought about doing this.  Some days Ill stitch a lot and others maybe not at all.
Im going to have to go read up on Cross Stitch Saga now and see what Ive been missing.

I try to put in a few stitches a day, some days I stitch for hours. I attempted to track my stitches once, but that made it seem like a "job". But everyone id different some see the counting of stitches as a challenge, a game of sorts.
I think the most important thing is to stitch on something you enjoy and enjoy the stitching. It is a hobby and not meant to cause stress or worry.
I do like to use my computer for the pattern because I can enlarge it and see it easy. I use PDF Exchange to view and mark the pattern. I use the built in print-to-PDF to change any images to PDF. I have not tried Pattern Keeper (android only) or Saga.
