How Many Stitches per Inch Are Ideal for Quilting?
Note that when quilting lightweight, loosely woven fabric, you may have to work with more stitches per inch. This may mean working with around 12 to 16 stitches per inch.
Basically, if you have longer stitches, you will have fewer stitches per inch of fabric. On the flip side, if you have more stitches, you will have higher stitches per inch.
Generally, when you use fewer stitches per inch, you can remove the stitches readily. But if you use more stitches per inch, the stitches would be harder to remove.
