Need Help With Ferdco 1010

[loopinluke]

I have having some very frustrating problems with my Ferdco machine. It is about 2 years old, and I don't sew nearly as much as most as I don't work with leather for a living. The problem I am having is that the machine will not sew straight. If you put a piece of leather in the machine and just let the machine sew, it will sew in a curve until it runs off the side of the leather. If you hold the leather at an angle so it stitches straight then the needle will get pulled off center until it hits outside the little hole and busts the needle. I get to start over on a breast collar I am building because of this, and I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks in advance, Lucas.
