Bobbin case isn't moving?

Bobbin case isn't moving?
I have a Brother CE7070PRW that I've been using for a couple of years now. The other night I broke a needle and after changing it, it wasn't sewing. I opened it up and cleaned out the lint, but still nothing. A little more investigating showed that the bobbin case isn't moving when the machine is running. The part underneath it moves, but the case itself isn't moving, so the bobbin thread isn't catching onto the top thread.
To make things worse, I was trying to show the husband what was wrong, and I bumped the case underneath the needle (which was moving) and it broke a corner off the plastic bobbin case.
Any idea what might cause it to not work right? Is it fixable?
I've been wanting a machine with a bigger throat for quilts, should I just look into a bigger, better machine?

If the bobbin holder isn't seated properly, this will cause it to malfunction. Just a fraction of an inch can cause all kinds of goofy stuff. I have a front loading bobbin. I thought my case was in properly, but it wasn't. Darn thing wouldn't do anything. I took it all apart 4 or 5 times. My friend walked up and said, "Did you push it in all the way?" I thought I did. She gave it a little push and Bingo! it starting working properly immediately. I've had it happen several times in the past couple of years. Mine is a Brother Innovis 4000D. I love my machine most of the time.
