I was in a sewing store and a lady asked me if I could fix my designs so her machine would run slower. She said the fast speed kept breaking her thread.
I had to explain that there is no way to digitize machine speed. Your machine sets its own speed. If you notice when it is stitching a straight line or a thin satin stitch it may run very fast but if it is doing wide satin stitches or a large fill area it may slow down.
You can adjust your own machine speed so that it does not run any faster than a certain SPM (stitches per minute).
Refer to your machines manual to make these adjustments. This can be a major factor in the outcome of a great stitchout. I NEVER run my machine above 800spm on applique designs and I slow it down to 500-600spm on embroidery or lettering.
Here is a snippet from a BabyLock Flourish owners manual that shows how to lower your machine speed.
I hope this helps! If you are having other issues with your machine check out this information from All Brands to find possible causes of the issue.

Thank you for posting this. I slowed mine down the instant I took my machine out of the box, three years ago. Flat out could not remember what screen had the setting. I was scrambling through the index and I guess I had too much coffee to connect words. You saved me!
Glad that the post helped you.
