If you are doing a zig zag stitch or other decorative stitch it is how wide the stitch is. My machine does up to 7 mm wide; your machine may be different.
Let me know if I understood your question and answered it. If I didn't please explain in what context you are asking.

I use the stitch width for regular piecing. If i set it at 4.5 and use my 1/4 inch foot, it moves the needle a little to the right and gives me a scant 1/4 inch seam.
I have a Janome but I think it's the same on most machines.
