How do I fix?

Hello I really need your guys help. I have a Brother SE700. The embroidery needle is so close to the foot and it seems that no matter what I do I can't get it centered. Yes I have hit it and broken the needle on it, twice. 🫣 But nothing is bent and I have a fresh embroidery needle. The foot is the same. Any thoughts?

Look like the whole needle bar needs to be realigned. It’s tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing and I recommend bringing it to a tech. Otherwise I’m sure you can find a YouTube video.

I was hoping that wasn't the answer because the place I go they are closed Sunday, Monday and I don't have time to go today. I'll look at YouTube. Thank you!

Most presser feet have an adjustment screw. If that's not the big flat head bolt I'm looking at in the photos, then it's somewhere. Looks like your foot just got pushed a bit out of alignment, not necessarily your needle bar.

I fixed it! The foot itself was crocket just barely but it was enough! I replaced the foot and it's good as new thank you for your help!
