The upper thread on my LS14 keeps snapping since I bent a needle and replaced it. I've adjusted the tension, I've brushed down the needle holder, etc. I removed the bobbin holder to clean it and realised that a bent pin had been hiding under it. I removed the pin cleaned and put everything back together.
Now my thread keeps snapping and the machine makes a slight clunking noise before it snaps. It seems to struggle with any thickness (I'm talking a very thin seam thickness). I've removed the bobbin holder and replaced it, I've replaced the needle. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! Any suggestions?

When the needle bent, another part may have bent, too. Another possibility is that there is a rough edge on the part that bent. The thread is rubbing against a rough or bent part and frays to the point of snapping.
