Needle holder falls off, won't stay on

needle holder falls off, won't stay on. It's done this before but stopped for a while. I don't even see what holds it on there. I am so irritated with it.

My husband used a 5/64 allen wrench to reattach my needle holder. There is a small black set screw directly above the screw that you tighten to hold the needle in place. I just looks like a small black hole, but there is a screw in there. Use the wrench to tighten it and you should be good to go.
