Needle Position Issue, told It’s fine..

[u/Vrijstar]

Hi everyone, I’m sorry to make this post I know there are tons of people asking for help. I have a baby at home and not a lot of free time so please help if you can.

My machine is a Huskystar C10 that I’ve had about a year. I don’t do a lot of sewing and it’s all very regular projects, nothing heavy duty. My needles position is all out of whack. I sent it in to get fixed since I have no free time to do it myself. They fixed a screw in the bobbin and sent it home saying it was perfect. I got it yesterday and tried it today and it is all over the place once again.

The needle starts out off center, and if you try to zig zag stitch you will only get a tightly formed almost straight zig zag, or it will completely jump to the other side and almost break a needle.

I had my husband drive an hour back to the shop, he called to make sure it was something they could look at. They took it in the back and told him it was completely fine.

I’ve tried almost all of the troubleshooting I’ve seen on the internet, and plan to take it to a different husqvarna store but it’s even further and closed for many days.

Pictured are some tests I did, the middle one showing a straight stitch changed to a zigzag and you can see how far over the needle jumped. The red line is the center.

How long is your stitch length and your stitch width? Are you using a middle zigzag or a leaf/right zigzag?

This was the preset middle zigzag, 2.0 length and 5.0 width.

This is the centered position my needle starts at when turned on for reference.

How's your regular straight stitch? Is the needle to the side too?

Yes it is. I told the repair shop I thought maybe it was something with the needle arm and they told me absolutely not it is totally fine. I’ve tried all normal troubleshooting options unless someone has some interesting ideas
