It's not unusual for the tip of the lower looper to brush the needle as
the looper moves to the left. However, if the looper is striking the
needle as it moves to the right, that could cause trouble. Also, the
upper looper on some machines will deflect the needles as it moves to
the right.
If the needle is striking the looper as the needle moves down something
needs to be adjusted.
