What's your go-to piecing stitch length?
I know there are a lot of opinions on this, but how long do you set your stitch length when piecing and why?
Because I often use thrifted fabrics, sometimes I have to pick stuff apart before I can use it, and today I found myself having to pick apart stitches that I could barely get my ripper into. I took a picture to count and there seem to be 16-17 stitches to the inch. I know I probably am a little too far along the other end of the stitch length spectrum for some of the small pieces I work with (usually 2.5-3 on my Brother - not sure what that translates to in stitches per inch) but is there an optimal stitch length that will prevent pieces coming apart but still let you rip out seams without damaging the fabric?
