The best I can say is to change all your threads to different colors and get light colored material. Start with tenstion for all set to N - normal and experiment from there. Change one thread's tension at a time, sew a long strip and check out both sides and adjust as needed. Remember to start with new serger needles and a oiled machine. I'm not an expert - I just have had a serger for 15 years.

The needles are changed by inserted the hex wrench into what looks to be holes on the front and left side where the needles go into the machine.I'm not sure what size the hex wrench is but it's pretty small. From the manual,
"Removing Needle: Unplug the machine. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to raise the needle bar to its highest position. Loosen the needle clamp with the allen wrench and pull the needle out." and
"Inserting needle: When the neddle bar is at the highest position, insert a new needle in the needle holder, making sure that the groove of the needle faces you. Push the needle as far up as it will go and tighten the needle clamp screw." "Removing Needle: Unplug the machine. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to raise the needle bar to its highest position. Loosen the needle clamp with the allen wrench and pull the needle out."

The machine takes DB x 1, or 1738 needles, and a size 14 needle is recommended.

Hope this helps!

Does it still make noise? Maybe it needs a new belt or just some oil?

Pfaff Hobbylock 788 sewing machine locked up. Has power, won't go. Hand wheel locked. Ideas?

Force the handwheel in the normal direction of travel. You can't break it. The once it breaks free, remove the needle and run it 15 seconds at full speed. If it happens again you need the timing re-done.

I dont know how to thread it, the hobbylock796 serger

Pfaff has the manual for the Hobbylock 796 on their site, http://www.pfaff.com/Support-and-Updates/Support . Use the drop-down menu to find the Hobbylock. The current link to the manual is http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/Hobbylock_794_796-manual-EN.PDF . See pages 7 - 11 for the threading diagrams for a 4-thread double overedge seam. See page 17 for the changes needed for a 3-thread seam. One of the generic threading videos for sergers may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrqHC2CNjVI . There's also one for the Pfaff Hobbylock 786: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOZ-djsXdhQ .

I hope these help.

Pfaff Hobbylock 788. How do I loosen a locked turn wheel?

Sounds like your machine needs oiling. The old oil has solidified freezing the handwheel. Take it in for service.

Hi :) Just got a Hobbylock 788 and need to thread

Here is the trick: If you look at your thread spools, left to right, thread machine beginning with thread from spool 3, then 4, then 1, then 2.

Thread 4 is tricky. You must line up the purple line on the big wheel on the right end in order to do this. Thread the machine according to the diagram on the inside, then, making sure you lined up the purple line, push the lever at the bottom of the machine (below threading guides) to the left while holding on to the thread end. This will push the thread up and along the horizontal arm you just threaded.

I am looking for pfaff hobbylock 786 serger manual do you know where I can get one?

ISBN 0-8019-8192-1(hc)? or ISBN 0-8019-8191-3(pb) by Naomi Baker & Tammy Young - "Know Your Pfaff Hobbylock" covers Pfaff Hobbylock: 797, 786, 784, 783 - Great book. This book is more helpful since it has detailed info pics in color- 182 pgs, @$3.00. Lists parts, projects, etc. The 786 manual has errors, 35 pgs. not detailed as the book above. Good luck!
