Viking/Pfaff Needle Threader Spring epic/Icon #68008152
Description & Compatibility
What It Is
-
needle-threader spring assembly for sewing machines in the Husqvarna Viking / Pfaff “Epic/Icon” line.
-
It functions as a replacement component for the built-in automatic needle-threader mechanism — helping the threader hook properly engage and guide thread through the needle.
-
This is a genuine OEM part, typically sold standalone (in case of wear, breakage, or failure of the original spring).
Compatibility
-
Designed for: Husqvarna Viking Epic 980Q (and likely other Epic-series models) as well as Pfaff Icon / Pfaff Performance Icon.
-
It is specifically for machines in the “Epic/Icon” series — not universal. Using it on non-Epic/Icon machines will likely result in incompatibility.
Usage Notes
-
The part is small and precise: installing or replacing requires care to avoid damaging the needle threader assembly or misaligning other components.
-
If the automatic needle threader fails (e.g. due to a damaged spring), manual threading may be necessary until replaced.
-
With certain specialty threads (very heavy, metallic, or stretchy), even a functioning threader may struggle — manual threading may still be better.
