Replacing the needle on a sewing machine should, in theory, be a relatively simple task. All you need are some back-up needles to replace the broken one with.
Nowadays most sewing machines use universal needles so you should not come across any difficulties finding a needle that will fit your machine.
Follow these steps:
• Look for a screw or knob above your sewing machine foot, near the top of the needle. This will be what is holding the needle in place
• Turn the screw or knob, using your hand or a small screwdriver depending on the nature of your sewing machine
• Once the screw is loose, the broken needle should fall out and you can throw it away
• Take your replacement needle and point the flat side of the needle towards the back of the machine. Then insert it in the hole that held your old needle
• Make sure that the needle is pushed up as high as it can possibly go. Turn the knob that will hold it in place
• Make sure the needle is fixed in place by tugging it at its base
Once this has been done, you should be able to simply re-thread your machine and you will be ready to start sewing again.
