To fix the right needle not staying in the Husqvarna Viking Huskylock 936, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the machine – Switch off the main power for safety.
2. Raise the needle bar – Turn the handwheel until the needle bar is at its highest position.
3. Insert the needle correctly – Ensure the flat side of the needle faces away from you and push it into the needle hole as far as it will go.
4. Tighten the needle set screw – Use an Allen wrench to securely tighten the needle set screw.
5. Loosen the adjacent needle screw if needed – If the needle does not go all the way up, slightly loosen the screw of the adjacent needle.
6. Check for a bent or blunt needle – Replace the needle if it is damaged.

Following these steps should help secure the right needle properly.
