Larger straight stitches decorate the pot holder. Smaller stitches were used for the meandering in the quilt’s background areas.
Depending on your project the quilting stitches used will vary. Generally speaking a quilter will use a regular stitch length for machine piecing. I like to use a longer stitch length when machine quilting straight lines but this is your personal preference. I will use a smaller stitch length when quilting in smaller spaces.
