I haven't bent mine yet, but I haven't done a lot of hand-quilting lately.
I did find a friend's needle at a house. I asked her if she had either bent a straight needle or straighted a curved one...

I was thinking maybe you need a 'shorter' needle, instead of longer. I've never had this problem. I guess us meeces don't put a lot of muscle...oh yeah...my needle is magic...there's the difference :lol:
