Default preparing to quilt my first quilt

I'm enjoying reading the posts on this forum. I got a wild hair and decided to learn to quilt after not touching a sewing machine for about a decade. So, I have my top done, made my sandwich and have hand basted all over, so I think the actual quilting is my next step. Should I be using my "regular" stitch length that I have used for all of the piecing? Any sewing machine adjustments that need to be considered? I have a Pfaff 7720 that I just inherited. I'm excited for the next step, but really don't want to mess this part up after all the work I've put into it so far. It's just a 45" square, and I plan to do 2" diagonal lines - then if I'm feeling good about it, will go on the opposite diagonal. Any advice for a first timer is very welcome!
