To reattach the knob on your Pfaff Hobbylock 796 serger, you will need to follow these steps:
- Locate the knob and the corresponding post on the machine where it attaches.
- Align the knob with the post on the machine.
- Push the knob onto the post and turn it clockwise until it is secure.
If the knob is not aligning properly or is difficult to turn, you may need to adjust the position of the knife manually. To do this:
- Turn off the machine and unplug it from the power source.
- Open the front cover of the machine to access the knife.
- Gently move the knife to the desired position with your fingers.
- Close the front cover of the machine and plug it back in.
- Test the machine to ensure that the knife is in the correct position and the knob is secure.
If you are still having difficulty getting the knob back on or adjusting the knife position, it may be best to contact a qualified sewing machine technician for assistance. They will have the expertise to diagnose and repair any issues with your serger.

It can be tricky to get the upper knife knob back on properly, but here are some general steps that might help:
- Make sure the upper knife is in the correct position for your sewing project.
- Hold the knob in your hand with the screw pointing up.
- Locate the screw hole on the top of the upper knife assembly.
- Carefully line up the screw hole on the knob with the screw hole on the upper knife assembly.
- Slowly begin to thread the screw into the hole, making sure to keep the knob and upper knife aligned.
- Once the screw is partially threaded, adjust the position of the upper knife if needed.
- Tighten the screw completely, making sure not to over-tighten it.
If you're still having trouble getting the knob back on, you might want to consult the manual for your specific sewing machine model or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
