IT COULD BE THAT YOUR SINKER PLATE HAS BEEN DROPPED AND SLIGHTLY OFF LINE...HAVE A CAREFUL LOOK ALONG THE LINE AND MAKE SURE IT IS NOT BENT A LITTLE
HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hi,
It sounds as if your carriage is not properly seated on the needlebed. Remove the sinker plate then remove the carriage.
Replace it, making sure that it is resting evenly on the needlebed and that the front is not raised. Then put the sinker plate on making sure that it seats properly on the positioning lugs.
I hope this helps,
