I had to change the needle and the new needle tip broke off. I replaced it and put in a new needle and the same thing happened again.
Quite possibly it is the wrong needle (not all needles are the same--some are slightly longer than others). Be sure you are using the right needle. The other thing is to be sure it is installed correctly. The needle has a flat side that has to be inserted facing the proper direction for your machine, otherwise the needle is slightly out of alignment.
There are many possibilitys
1- the needle and the fabric have to match - soft needle to hard fabric and the needle breaks - you need a needle with a higher number ex.90
2- not threaded correctly
3 - thread tension is too High to the fabric
look in the manual
good luck
Unthread the upper thread. Remove the bobbin and bobbin case. Turn the fly wheel while watching the needle go down into the bobbin area. See if the needle is hitting something
If the needle is hitting something, then the needle bar may need to be adjusted to change the height of the needle. There may also need to be an adjustment of the needle eye in relation to the shuttle. If so, the adjustment might be on the underside of the machine.
