What stitch length do you prefer when doing regular machine quilting?
#22
My Sapphire 875Q defaults on 2.5 - the stitches are too far apart for piecing so I bump it down to 2.0 - I think it depends on the machine - I really don't know what the 2.5 or 2.0 indicates other than one is bigger or smaller than the other - does anyone know what they even mean?

On my Janome the default in Mode 1 is 2.2, but I recently discovered that the default in Mode 2 is 2.5 (handy). However, I sometimes use a longer stitch for quilting, say 3, and possibly a shorter stitch for piecing.

When using my Janome 6500- I set the stitch lenght to 5.0 for SID. Sometimes when doing cross hatching on large blocks I set a very narrow zig zag about 1.5 then the length at 3. Again it depends on the denisty of the batting.
