Stitch length: which statement describes the effect of higher numbers?

Explanation:
Stitch length controls how far the fabric advances per stitch. A higher number makes longer stitches because the machine moves the fabric farther before the next stitch forms. This changes the seam density and how much thread is used, affecting appearance and durability. It’s different from stitch width (how wide a zigzag is), fabric tension (how tight the thread is), and thread color (chosen by the thread). So higher numbers describe longer stitches.
