I tell all my students that most of them do not know their weak eye from their strong one. I always have everyone focus on a particular circular design on the wall in the training facility. I have them put their thumb on the design with both eyes open and then close their left, than their right eye and see what eye stays centered on the design (this technique I learned from John Hanson). I then tell my students zero is best but it is easier since most people do not see straight to turn the needle slightly to the right from 5-15 degrees (not percent as someone posted). This way they do not accidently turn it to the left, which will cause thread breaks. I just wanted to clear up what I do tell my students and not have my students post that they should not listen to what I say. Thanks and happy sewing!
