Check your needle plate. Needs to be centered. If this is not the culprit, 
remove the needle plate and look very closely at the hook. What you describe is 
not a good thing. It is not the jacket causing your needles to break.

  Hi to All and Happy Holidays!

  I need help!  I am attempting to sew on a jacket and am having the most 
unbelievable time.  The jacket is a nylon wind breaker type material....just 
sewing letters...luckily, I have an old jacket of the same material to test on. 
 I have had thread break after thread break and two needles broke as well.  
Bent the "you know what" out of the needles!  I cannot figure out what the 
problem is!  I first tried with a full block font,  to the point of the 
"default" column width and a 4.5 density.  The smallest of the letter size to 
be .40........but I don't really think it has anything to do with the font.  
What is odd is the way the needle is breaking.  Like it is hitting something 
hard, but the material is so thin and I am using a cut-a-way backing.

  Any thoughts?
