What size serger needle is used with 936 husqvarna serger

Make sure you have backed out the screw almost all the way, grab the needle with a pair of needle nose pliers and push the needle up with "gentle" force to make sure it's up all the way. When you tighten the screw without a needle in the hole (when 3 thread sewing) the screw makes an indentation inside the needle hole. That indentation stops the needle from reaching it's upper most position. By "gently" forcing the needle up in the holder all the way, you correct the opening for the needle by breaking out that tiny imperfection. Your needle screw then can hold the needle correctly.

Dls8864's suggestion was a very good suggestion - make sure the metal stitch plate is pushed all the way to the back. Also make sure that the thread is feeding freely - if it is catching on something it can cause the needle to be pulled aside and make it break. Does the design fit properly inside the hoop you are using? If the foot and/or needle strike against the side of the hoop, that will cause a breakage. Is the bobbin thread okay - not making a bird's nest underneath?

Make sure you have completed all the steps to convert to cover stitch. There is a "clutch" to move from S to C for coverstitch that is located on the inside front of the machine where you thread the lower loopers. Make sure you have "locked down" the looper as instructed. There is a VHS and a DVD available from the Husqvarna Viking dealer.

You probably are putting the needles in the wrong holes. The two holes you want the needles in for the basic overlock stitch are holes C & D which are to the FAR RIGHT SIDE of the needlebar not the main 5 hole piece that you see first. These are used for the cover stitch only. When you insert your needles (flat to the back) or remove them MAKE SURE you tighten up the screw immediately so you don't forget to do it. If they are loose and fall down in your machine good luck finding them! Hope this helps you.
