I read somewhere (could have been on this site or one like it) that it doesn't really matter what "size" stitch you make as long as all of them are the same size. I have quilted many quilts and my stitches are uniform, however, they are not the tiny little stitches but they are not really large either. Everyone that has seen my quilts ask me how I get the stitches so even. Well, once you get the hang of it, judgement of size is pretty clear. I am not perfect by no means, and have ripped out a lot because I wasn't happy with the irregular size of the stitch and go back and try to make them uniform. Hope this helps. Mary
