I have a new sewing machine and the needle is off center. How can I fix this?

I just bought a Singer sewing machine (my first) and I am wanting to sew a straight stitch centered, however the needle (the needle is brand new and straight) is off center to the left about 1/8 of an inch. Can I fix this or do I need to return the machine?

    Turn the needle placement knob to the right. It is usually the top knob on the right side of the machine. Look for it in your machine's manual.

    There may be a button or dial to change the needle position. Check your owner's manual. If that doesn't work, take the machine back for a new one.

    It will still sew a striaght seam. But check your manual, there should be some sort of dial that will move the needle from side to side.

    it probably has a setting that moves the needle to the left or the righ or in the center.

    look at the manual it will tell you how to reset the needle.
