It might take longer for the needle to break, but before that it will have become blunt and might damage the fabric. There can be various reasons for this. The needle may not be the correct one for the selected fabric, the needle may have been set too low, the fabric may not be properly guided or the bobbin case may be placed incorrectly. Four snap on presser feet (a buttonhole foot, a button foot, a zipper foot, and an all purpose foot) You can change the needle after turning off the product with the on/off switch. When cleaning the product you should disconnect it from the power supply.
