Readjust to standard position

Wrong needle type

Use the correct needle type

Needle blocked by residue

Use needle with anti-plug treatment instead and lubricated suture

Use low extension length sutures instead

Slack in high stretch fabrics

Adjust the needle plate tongue to fit the needle size and use the round mouth needle

Readjust the presser foot or use special presser foot

The needle is deformed or bent

Reinstall the needle protector, change the needle number, and replace the needle.
