Default Pieceing stitch per inch

What's a good number?

I've been hand piecing some stuff toys for DS (backstitching) and
depending on the fabric and my state of mind have been getting
between 17 ans 23 per inch.

Dare I say I have no idea? I have been handpiecing DH's nightmare quilt
because it simply cannot be done on a machine, leastways I don't think so.
I would say small enough to ensure a tight join but not small enough to
drive you nuts. I've averaged about ......(counting on the "front" side
that I'm looking at) 7-10 stitches.
