Sewing Machine Trouble Shooting?

I was using a foot I've never used before (the gathering foot).  My needle broke so I took the foot off replaced it and put in a new needle.  The needle broke again.  Now it appears that something is off.  My machine has a needle threader and when you pull that down it hits on the shaft that holds the foot down.  I'm not sure if the needle arm (making that term up) is now too low or the shaft that holds the foot on is not in the correct spot.

I have a husquvarna viking emerald 183

Any ideas?

  • I'd guess the foot isn't positioned correctly or isn't on tight enough.

  • My 1/4" seam foot has to have the needle in the right position rather than the middle position in order not to hit the edge of the foot when it comes up. No idea why, but you may want to try a different position.
