No, Robin!
I don't leave the caliper inside the staple. It lies on my work surface. When I need to see how far I am from the end of the staple I rotate the reed and hold both it and the thread with my wrapping hand, pick up the caliper with my free hand and check that the wrap length is okay using the jaws. Sorry for the confusion.
Myoboe, in my earlier post in this thread I embedded a link to a good pic. of a vernier caliper with all the different parts clearly labeled. Learning to read a vernier is something I did early on in high-school, and I cannot imagine why people need to confuse matters with digital readouts. It's like reading an analogue clock-face, I suppose. My kids still have difficulty.

The picture is a bit blurry when magnified, but my vernier caliper is not blurry at all  . In the picture, the scale reads roughly 3.166 cm.
