This way you let the machine/software determine what the appropriate setting should be. Especially if you are new to the industry!! Your trainer should have advised you of this. Judy, If you must stick something in the eye of the needle, try a toothpick. I've never done this myself as I just use my sight to set the needle's orientation but I've heard of others doing this.
