Ker....

First thing to do is ask yourself why the needles are breaking in the first 
place. It is not normal to be breaking needles like this. Have you checked your 
hook timing? How is the machine trimming, meaning is the needle possibly 
hitting either the selector or the knife. 

How about the needlecase calibration? When you drop a needle to bottom center, 
is it aligned to the center of the needleplate hole? Try that on the number one 
needle and then make sure the needle plate is adjusted to the center of the 
hole, if possible, and then check the other 15 needles to see if ALL of them 
are centered. If they are not then the needle(s) may be hitting the needleplate 
and cuasing the breakage you have described. The needlecase will need to be 
recalibrated to the machine if they are not centered.....

In your case, I don't think stronger needles will be the answer...the needles 
are impacting something somewhere..
