Ok so i needed to clean and oil the bearing and I did. Did not touch anything else in machine. put it all back together and it worked great for a very short time then all of a sudden the needle started hitting the plate. when I took the cover off to see if I missed something I turned the wheel and the needle didnt hit anymore. Its not dirty the needle is new and its the correct needle. So Im beyond frustrated now not being able to figure out what is causing it to hit ONLY when cover is on. Im not an expert on repairing machines so perhaps I needed to do something specific when replacing the cover that I was not aware of.
SOURCE: Needle hits the plate
Remove your needle plate, clean around it, turn the handwheel to see if the hook will catch your thread(Like you are trying to bring up the bobbin thread). If it catches okay, put the plate back on and as you tighten the screw push the plate towards the rear of the machine. Reassemble everything, rethread , insert a bobbin and try it by turning the handwheel again. If it still hits, you need a service. If it doesn't, have fun!!

I had the same problem.. I think the bobbin used in this machine is no good I replaced mine.. It cost alot too.. but now I do not have any problems.. good luck

basically have to bend it carefully back by hand.... if you have a straight edge or even a small leveler (the kind with a bubble) you can check which direction it is bent and gently bend it back a little each time.

Check the timing of the needle to the hook.

That's ok, needles get bent all the time and sometimes broken too. Just give it a new needle (look on the shaft at the top of the needle, you should see a screw to loosen for removing the needle). Note that the needle is made with a flat side on the shank to locate it properly, watch how the bent one is positioned when you remove it.
