Why is my ebroidery machine suddenly jamming?

Haven't used by Brother 150E machine for a while, but it was perfectly alright when I last used it. Now I find that not only are needles breaking, but the machine is jamming completely. Have taken out the bobbin andsinker plate to clean, but not really fluffy, have now replaced it, changed the needle and still it happens. Feel it is my error rather than the machine at fault, but what am I doing wrong???

Thanks for the info Ken, but how do I check the timing?

Some-one else mentioned to me that it could be something to do with the sinker plate needing re-alignment???

Hello Bebah,
Start with checking the threading of the machine and then check the tensions, once you have got that right if the machine is breaking needles you may need to retime it.
