Yay!! I just picked it up yesterday, and she's beautiful :biggrin:!!! I even stopped at Joann's and bought 5 cones of my first serger thread! Had to drive an hour away to get it tho, so I haven't fired it up yet.
Problem with buying things used is sometimes it comes with things missing :confused:. The slide on piece for the 5th spool is missing, the needle holder/threader tool isn't with it, the bulb changing tool's missing, tweezers and screwdriver (easily replaced though), 1 spool holder/cap, and 3 of the clear things that I know have something to do with the thread spool spindles.
I know the 936 has since been replaced with the s25 et al, but are parts for this machine still fairly easy to come by? I shudder at how much replacing all of this stuff is gonna cost, but I paid mud for this machine, so I think I can take it lol. Is a dealer going to be able to get me good prices on extra feet also? I really want the bias tape feet, as well as the elastic foot. Do the feet for the 'S' line machines fit the 936?
I know there is a Yahoo group specifically for this machine. I'll be posting this there as well. Thanks everyone! TGIF so I can go home and play with my new toy!

I dunno about the other stuff you need but you may want to go to Viking's website and find the animated threading diagram. I have sewn on multineedle industrials that were easier to thread!Skill: Advanced

I have this serger and have been very happy with it. Be sure to keep it clean and oil it often. My dealer was telling us about someone bringing in a 936 that had frozen up because the owner did not oil it often enough. Skill: Advanced
Huskylock 936 User Guide Manual
You really don't need the 5th spool holder -- I've never used mine. Most people only use the basic stitches 95% of the time. I use my 4 thread and 3 thread OLs and recently have started using my coverstitch. I have used the rolled edge but it was several years ago although it did do a nice stitch.You may be able to find the missing parts on ebay or at one of the online machine sites. You should be able to order the needle threader/holder or get on from a Viking dealer. Also the clear thing that goes under the serger spool. If you are only missing one spool holder cap, you probably won't miss it if you use serger thread. It is for regular spools.
I have found that I use the 3-thread OL a lot, but that is my personal preference for cottons and lt. weight fabrics if I sew the seams with a SM first. The 4-thread works great for ravelly fabrics and on knits when you don't sew a seam first. I used all the stitches during my training lessons, but just haven't gotten around to using them again. I just started using the coverstitch recently and am not really fast on setting it up, but wait until I have quite a few things to stitch at once.
The machine is tricky to thread but once you get the basics down for the 3 and 4 thread OLs, you can do them in a few seconds. Be sure to follow the order in the book -- left then right on loopers and then on needles. I admit I cheat and cut my looper threads off above the door and tie on new threads, turn the wheel a 'tiny' bit backwards and pull them through gently. Works almost all the time, and the worst that could happen is that you have to rethread. About the only time I completely rethread is when I switch to CS.
I think you will really enjoy this serger. Another great thing is that it uses regular #80 needles.
ETA -- Most of the time when you have problems, a thread has popped out of one of the guides or wrapped around a guide for another setting--so if you have problems, first check to see if it has been threaded correctly. Sometimes I have rethreaded many times until everything worked.

Yards sewed 2018--301 yards
1/1/2020 about 1950 yards in inventory 2019--we won't go there
Goal for 2020 - 400 yards --- Made it --sewed 400.76 yards. I have no idea about how many yards I have in my inventory. Haven't had time to redo tubs and have brought in lots of fabric that has not been entered to be used for charity sewing and have only purchased about 15 yards since January 1st. No goal for 2021--too much h stress.

Mrs. Moos, amen to that! Threading my 936 is a major undertaking. I find myself avoiding doing anything but 3 thread overlock as it's such a chore to rethread. I bought it because I love my Viking Rose and how simple it is.

Congratulations! This machine makes beautiful stitches. The threading can be a bit tricky, but if you practice, it really isn't that hard.
I have not fully explored everything my 936 can do, but whenever I try something new with it, I am ecstatic with the results. I made a sheer blouse a year ago and needed to finish the edges. The 3-thread was going to be too heavy, so I tried a 2-thread narrow overlock for the first time. With a little experimentation on fine-tuning the settings, it turned out beautifully!
I also don't particularly like converting to the coverlock, and tend to save things up to do all at once. But it does a very nice coverlock and it is worth the effort. If you haven't had a coverlock before, there are some good tips on this site. There are some things worth knowing that have more to do with the stitch than the machine. Good luck and have fun!

Thanks everyone for the responses! Glad to hear from a lot of happy 936 owners. I just put it to the test yesterday. It was set up for coverstitch when I bought it and it performed admirably. I plan on setting it up for 3 and 4 thread overlocking when I get home today. I have TONS of scrap fabric that can't wait to get sewn up.
Do any of you know anything about the compatibility of these bias tape folder attachments? Are they universal?http://www.abcsewingmachine.com/parts.aspx?cat=95
I saw one at work in a video showing how to use the coverstitch on neck and armhole binding and I really want a few (different sizes, u know )

I recently got a 936--my first serger!--off Craigslist for a v. good price. The person who had it needed something much simpler, and hadn't used it; the previous owner bought it new and used it lightly, so after a good oiling, it purrs. However, feet and parts are not as readily available as I assumed they would be. The great thing is, you can get by without many of them. I splurged on the full coverstitch set on ebay, though. Since I waited and waited and waited to get a serger until I could have an all-in-one machine, I want to be able to do all those coverstitch tricks! Coming from a complex weaving background, I do not find the threading all that hard, or the change-over. The animated threading guides on the H-V site are really great to get you going. I am still working through all the stitches on various fabrics so that I'll have a ready-reference with samples to help set tensions on future work. The tension numbers in the LCD readout may work, or may just be a starting point.
The most important thing I've learned so far is the importance of the right, undamaged needles. The tiniest burr or bend can ruin the stitch. Expect to use up a lot of needles.

I couldn't agree more with the extra parts not being readily available. Not locally, at least. I ordered an elastic foot from a quilting shop and it took 4 weeks to get here! Sewingpartsonline.com and shopjoya.com seem to both have almost every available extra for this machine in stock and ready to ship. I think I'll be going with an online option for ordering future accessories for it. Also, if anyone is still following this thread: When I sew wovens on it, it works fine, cuts and stitches evenly, etc etc. But when I move to sewing knits on it, the material gets bunched at the knives and has to be kind of.. helped, but it ends up causing the material to bunch and get stretched before it starts cutting and sewing normally. Should I be pre-snipping my knits to get them started, or are my blades toast?
