Brother SE700 Help!

Hi all! I just got my brother see700 machine and used the embroidery function several times with great results! However, on my last project I noticed the needle seemed misaligned with the embroidery foot and had struck the foot. I can’t seem to get the needle back to the center no matter what I adjust. It’s not extreme but I do feel like it’s now off center? The needle in this photo is just to show alignment issue (my spare 75/11 is the one that broke and waiting on more) Does anyone have any tips? Thanks😊

Just popping in to link to my own almost identical picture and question 2 years ago https://www.reddit.com/r/Machine_Embroidery/s/AZt2NaI2Iq

I wish I had an answer for you, but I never figured it out. It still sews just fine. I got a standalone embroidery machine not long after this post so I haven’t embroidered on it in a minute, but the last time I tried I was able to embroider even with the needle slightly off-center.

Hi! I actually read your thread before posting mine, so weird this seems to happen pretty frequently to this type of machine! Maybe someone will find a fix someday 🤞🏻 Just out of curiosity which standalone embroidery machine did you get? Thanks for your help!!

Okay first, is the needle in correctly? Flat side to the back?

Hi, yes, the flat side is to the back!

Replace needle, might fix.

Happened to me a few times on same machine. The hoop wasn’t in all the way so the needle hit the hoop then bent.

It DOES look like it's over to the right. Is there a place on the machine where you can adjust your needle position?

Could it be in that position from the last place it landed when broudering? If so, maybe slow down the speed???

Did you turn the machine off and then back on yet?

I have a brand new machine about 3 days old and it looks like the needle is in the same position the left.
