Wow Karen, that's a smart idea, sewing with the longer stitch length first!! I think I will do it next time. I love to PP.
I also put my stitches at 1.5 and the paper tears wonderfully. When joining larger blocks I use a 3.5 or 4 stitch length the first time to make doubly sure the points meet, then do it again with the 1.5 stitch length.
