You either don't have them in the needle holes and or your not tightening the screws to hold them in

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.

How to fix a broken Needle clamp on viking 936
I don't know of a way to repair the needle clamp. It will more than likely have to be replaced. The local authorized husqvarna viking dealer should be able to service the machine. You can find the nearest dealer from husqvarna viking website - http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/us

The best needles to use in the Vik serger is the Schmetz brand. Also, loosen the right needle a bit to make sure you are getting the left needle up all the way, tighten left, then tighten right.

I cannot get the needles to stay in my Huskvarna Huskylock 936 serger. How can I get them to stay in?
I would say it is 2 things, first you don't have the screws loosened enough to get the needles up and in far enough, then make sure you have tightened them up enough, this should solve your problem. Also, the flat of the needle goes toward the back of the machine.

Hi there, my husqvarna 936 is jamming slightly when i turn the hand wheel and when i use the pedal it works but their is a load catching noise can you help me plz
Hello, The first thing to do with a serger is to change the needles and take the thread off the machine and rethread it. The 936 can sometimes "fight" you a little when it comes to getting the needles up in all the way. It's critical that they are inserted all the way up in the needle clamp. Check to also make sure the N/R lever is in the N position. Check the needle plate, are the "needle like" pins still attached to the plate? If your serger jammed, sometimes the thread breaks the pin supports out of the plate. They are very important when it comes to stitch formation.

How do I remove the needles A & B
Needle removal is pretty simple. The foot was already removed on my wife's machine. Am not sure that was necessary, but if it is it is very simple....single screw. Once that is off, get out the small allen head driver from your serger tools and loosen both needles...and remove them...and replace with new. Maybe a two minute job. The needles seem to be a generic size....available at WalMart.

The needle in the C slot of my Husquavarna 936 won't stay in
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.

Viking 936 uneven stitches with loops
Sounds like either the loopers need adjusting or there is a twist in the needle bar. These are all things that have to be done by a certified husqvarna viking service technician via an authorized HV dealer. You can locate a dealer near you by visiting the husqvarna viking website and clicking on the Dealer link on the left-hand side of the page - http://www.husqvarnaviking.com

Good luck.
