Hi Div, I'm unable to adjust the pressure on my presser foot, only by my own foot pressure. I've always normally use a 3.00 or 3.5 in my regular sewing and that was a good stitch length. But again, was surprised that I have to up it to a 5.00 for my quilting. I'm just want to make sure that my stitches will be strong enough, but not too tiny that if I have to rip out seams that I'm able to see them and not damage my fabric. Do I need to have at least 8-10 stitches per inch to ensure that my stitches will be strong enough no matter what my stitch length on my machine shows?
