What stitch length do you prefer when doing regular machine quilting?

My Elna 7200 automatically sets up for 2.5 which is fine for piecing, I bump it down to 2.0 or just below for PP and when doing my binding etc. I bump it up to at least 3.5 or above depending on the wadding loft.

Hmmm... normally it depends on how fast I move the fabric for free motion. If I use my walking foot I set it to 3.0 or 3.5 for hatching. If you mean piecing I like 2.2 but I might set it slightly larger but not more then 2.8 for piecing. I set it larger just incase I need to take it out. 2.2 is just too small for me to take it out.

My Sapphire 875Q defaults on 2.5 - the stitches are too far apart for piecing so I bump it down to 2.0 - I think it depends on the machine - I really don't know what the 2.5 or 2.0 indicates other than one is bigger or smaller than the other - does anyone know what they even mean?
