Maybe your needle bar is screwed too tight into the fixture...

If the needle is so tight you can't seat it properly, you might need a new needle bar.

The older needle bars were heavier and longer, and you might find you really like the newer shorter aluminum versions.

Changing the old heavy needle bars can eliminate a lot of vibration at the front of the machine.

Other causes of the needle bar no longer being at the right height include the collar and screw that hold it in place not being as tight as possible, or you might have hit a stack of seams, layers of fusibles, pin, needle plate (if your needle was deflected into the plate while sewing) or something else that jammed the needle bar out of position. Thick seams and other obstructions can also cause it to be lower if theneedle was stuck down, and the machine tried to yank the needle bar up.

This is one of those screws that needs to be very tight to prevent movement either way.

I hope this helps... Perhaps you could use some tools like a drill bit to widen the opening of the needle bar, so your needle can go further in it...
