Jeff,

There is a possibility that you may have broken the lower portion of the 
reciprocator jaw. If you are on needle 16, you can remove the black upper arm 
cover to the left of the needle case and get a good look at the jaws, needle 
bar and needle bar clamping stud. The stud should be trapped inside of the 
reciprocator jaws so that the reciprocator can pull it up and down.... You can 
look at your parts CD to get an idea of how the parts actually look....

Look carefully for any broken pieces of metal, they won't be large so check 
carefully.....at this point my gut feeling is that the reciprocater jaw was 
fractured with the hit.

It is always important to use the correct hoop and select the proper designated 
hoop in OS and do a trace....bad things can happen when you don't.....

If it is broken, a tech call is in order, as it means needle case removal, etc, 
etc.......
