if you are doing straight walking foot quilting then lengthen the stitch a bit to allow for the additional thickness. Your default setting for stitch length is for two single pieces of fabric. If you are free motion quilting then strive for about the same length (3.0).

I like to use 3.0 when straight stitching like SITD or cross hatching. When FMQ, it doesn't matter what the stitch length on the machine is because I have the feed dogs down and use the darning foot, so I'm in control of the stitch length. I try to keep it at an even length of about 2.5-3.0 but when doing small work or thread painting, anything goes!
