That's an interesting question, and the answer is that if varies depending on how intricate the line is that I am stitching. For swooping curves, I say I go a "medium" speed so that I have enough forward motion to maintain a smooth curve. When I get close to spots where I need to be more precise, I slow both the speed of the machine and my hands. It's a lot like drawing that way. In fact, drawing designs first until you are comfortable with them will most likely help you stitch them better also.
