I am replacing both needles on my 788 Pfaff serger and need to know if both needles are even after replacing meaning needle A is shorter than needle B. Thanks!

your needle bar has been pushed up and is out of adjustment. You need to take off the side cover, there should be a screw on the back of your machine holding it on. Remove this screw, and remove the cover.You may have to remove the light assembly to reach the screw on the needle bar. Once you can see the needle bar, rotate the handwheel until you can see the screw on the needle bar. Loosen this screw SLIGHTLY until you can turn the needle bar. Hold and rotate the needle bar back and forth as you push down slightly. This will lower the bar.Lower it about 1/4 inch. Adjust the needles by turning the bar so that they are straight across. Tighten the needle bar screw so that the bar doesn't move. Turn the handwheel to see if the threads will be picked up. If not, adjust until they are. Tighten the needle bar screw tightly,reinstall the side cover ,and tighten the screw. Change your needles.Rethead and sew.

Here's a manual for your machine. There is also a needle/thread combo chart you should find helpful. Allow time for it to load... takes a bit.

Hi,
I have the same problem, thee needle holder shaft swirls from left to right, is very loose. Maybe there is a screw missing, but which one? Please look at the pictures.
