That depends on the machine. When I set the stitch length on my Baby Lock to 0 (Zero) all I get is angry little tickmark stitches. So I have to set mine to the regular length or even longer to get good control.
Don't forget to keep your shoulders down. Angel wing shoulders will cause tension and bad muscle pain. Start slow - small project and have fun.
