I use the standard setting on my Bernina which is 2.25. Not sure what the measurement is.

My machine defaults to 2.5 and that is what I use unless it's for paper-piecing where I drop down to 1.8 or 2.

2.5 - unless I have a really good reason to change it, like I am zigzagging.

Usually a 2, but if I'm using small pieces I will make the stitches tighter.
