If the needle holder on your Pfaff Hobbylock 783 serger keeps dropping, there could be a few possible reasons for this issue. Here are some common causes and solutions:
Loose needle holder screw: The screw that holds the needle holder in place may have become loose over time. Check if the screw is tightened properly and secure it if necessary.
Worn-out needle holder: The needle holder itself may be worn out or damaged, causing it to drop. Inspect the needle holder for any signs of wear or damage. If it is worn out, you may need to replace it.
Incorrect installation: It's possible that the needle holder was not installed correctly during the last needle change. Ensure that you have inserted the needle holder securely into its proper position and that it is aligned properly.
Needle clamp tension: The tension on the needle clamp may be too loose, causing the needle holder to drop. Check the needle clamp tension and adjust it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Mechanical issues: There could be mechanical issues within the serger that are affecting the needle holder's stability. In such cases, it's advisable to consult a professional technician or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
If you're unable to resolve the issue on your own or if the problem persists, it's recommended to reach out to a qualified sewing machine technician or contact Pfaff customer support for further guidance specific to your model.
