breaking needles
#1
what on earth am I doing wrong...I changed the foot, everything was working fine then all of the sudden the needle keeps hitting the edge of the inside of the foot. Of course I kept trying and broke the needle. In the three weeks I have been sewing I have replaced 5 needles...I can not figure out why its hitting the 1/4 foot. I have a Kenmore, one of the cheaper new ones...good machine horrible instructions and very little on the web about them. Next time I buy a machine it will be from a local sewing machine shop that knows how to work the machine and teach you.

I had a problem when I put the needle in wrong. It doesn't have a flat side. I thought it didn't matter how it went in. The machine in question is old and the eye had to be turned a certain way. Once I got the needle right, the problem was gone.
