It hits on the front of the hole so think I'll try your suggestion to maybe make the hole a little larger since can't figure out why it's doing that. I used it a week or so ago and it was fine.
If it was fine a week ago, it should be fine now without altering it. It is a setting, bent needle or something you are doing without knowing it. Set it aside and come back to it in a day or so with a new needle. Take the foot off and put it on again and rethread your machine.
