Remove the needle and place it back in, the needle may have just slipped down out of place a little. Another thing to watch for is the foot that comes down to thread the needle may no longer be straight you might need to slowly push down the cartridge and watch to see if it tilts down to the left if it does you can carefully place your finger under the part that holds the thread and slightly lift it till its straight and continue to thread the needle. I have had that problem and just bent it back up carefully and no longer have that problem.
Hope that helps

make sure that the thread is snug...do you have the thread cap on? I've had this problem and it is usually corrected if the thread doesn't have any play inside of the cassette.
