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.
I you used it before and it worked fine, either the needle must be bent or the sandwiching is just too thick, but I would bet it is the needle - try a new needle.
