Price of a hobbylock 4842 - Sewing Machines

The site you were on is a scam site and is trying to get you to download a malicious program in exchange for a manual that doesn't exist. It looks like a Browser Add-On, also known as a PUP, a Potentially Unwanted Program.

There is no Service Manual for your Hobbylock.

Check out youtube.

Our Hobbylock 796 seems to work very well when the needle block distance to the underside of the body is approx 6.4mm at the very top of the needle stroke (see the picture)

Pfaff has a video on threading the Hobbylock 4842 here: http://www.pfaff.com/mediafiles/threading_guide/index_en.html . You need Adobe Flash Player available on your browser. Enter the tutorial, the link is below the Quick Help paragraph. Then choose the correct machine (from the links across the top). Then use the drop-down menu to choose the stitch that you will be sewing for the appropriate threading video. Then click on the appropriate thread (below the video window) to see how to thread that section of the serger. (For two-thread stitches, you will see two options are greyed out.)

I hope this helps.

here is a manual:

PFAFF hobbylock 4842 Instruction Manual

Be sure to ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading the machine. Also, thread each thread in the ORDER specified or your machine will most likely never stitch correctly (usually, the upper looper first, lower looper next, and then the needles).

You will get a good idea on e-bay

There are some for sale on Ebay:

(this one has a better price tag)

The hobbylocks all thread in much the same fashion.  There is a diagram for a four thread hobbylock on this website.  It would be better if you found a Pfaff dealer to show you as it is quite complicated.

Once you have it threaded, always cut the old threads at the spool and knot new ones on and pull through.  You will have to thread the needles as the knots will not pass through but it does save an awful lot of frustration when needing new colours on the spools.

Price depends upon how much the machine has been used & what condition it is in. My hobbylock 794 has barely been touched since it was first made and they advised I just throw it out instead when I took it in for a little 'freshening up' at Quality sewing & vacuum in Washington! Everywhere else I've had great feedback that this is a good serger, so check out what similar machines are selling for on Ebay... you could get $100~$400 for your trusty serger {depending on supply & demand}.
