“If I wanted to quilt a 2.75" line, what size stitch do I set my machine at so it ends exactly where I want to end.”
- I don’t think there is a formula - or even workable way to arithmetically determine precisely where your last stitch will end. There are too many variables (your particular machine, and thickness of your needle, thread and fabric), not to mention the clunky conversion of metric to English measures, as you can see from the Knitette’s reference charts.
The exact spot for a needle to land is not my strong point - but when I do occasionally need that kind of precision, I stop at the next to the last stitch and
use the hand wheel and an appropriate tug or push to get that last stitch where I want it.
