Stitch length
 
What stitch length do you use when you are piecing a quilt? Thanks

I use 2.5 or 2 usually. I sew on a Pfaff. :)

I use the standard setting on my Bernina which is 2.25. Not sure what the measurement is.

I use 2.0 on my Bernina.

1.4/1.6 if I plan to press the seam open or if foundation paper piecing. 1.8 if pressing seam to one side

My machine defaults to 2.5 and that is what I use unless it's for paper-piecing where I drop down to 1.8 or 2.

2.5 - unless I have a really good reason to change it, like I am zigzagging.

Usually a 2, but if I'm using small pieces I will make the stitches tighter.
