I have a Consew 226R that I use to sew leather items. Recdently I broke the needle bar and had it replaced. Now sometimes I break a needle because the needle hits the feed dog slightly off center. How do I get the bar and needle and feed dog to line up properly so that it does not break the needle? I can see that the needle is not centered in the hole like it should be

Loosen the feed dog screw under the bed and tap gently with a soft mallet.
