Come to think of it, I suggested that to Melco about 2 years ago and I guess there was no response. It sure would be nice if there was like a 3 key combination to make the needle drop down INSTEAD of going through the menu system. I always check needle position before I hit the green button. Lesson learned the hard way.

What we have done on flats (not hats) is hoop some backing and then do the head down to make your needle hole then when the needle is up I use my laser button and see how far off it is.
