Mary, 
You're Funny!  (Alcohol relaxes you:))

Guys,
The red rollers are cheap enough to simply just replace with new ones.  
Remember that if you are going to remove the red roller #1, I recommend you 
pull back the plastic needle case cover to access this roller.  That high wall 
on the right hand side of pinch roller #1 is in the way of removing it.
This can be easy if you follow my steps.
1) take a long thin item like a pencil or tweezers and knock all of the thread 
tail out of the grabber trap from BEHIND the needles.
2)Lift all of the red pinch rollers to their up position.
3)Grab all 16 of the little dangling tails of thread and pull out about an arms 
length of thread and tie the END of all of these threads in a knot.
4)Easily remove the needle case front access cover that is held in place by two 
magnets.  This has the name "Amaya" stamped on it.
5)Under this cover there is a 2.5mm allen screw on each side.  Remove these 
screws.
6) Gently lift up and then pull back the plastic front cover so that you can 
remove the red roller #1 out from the side, behind the pulled forward needle 
case cover.  Reinstall a new red roller (or gummi green roller).
7)As you reseat the needlecase cover, gently pull on your pony tail knot of 
thread hanging from the front of the machine so as not to tangle the thread in 
and around the needlecase cover.
8)Reinsert the two screws and replace the magnetic cover while easily moving 
threads aside.
9)When you are finished with all your maintenance needs, making sure your red 
rollers are in their DOWN position, activate the grabber and then cut off the 
excess thread hanging from the front of the machine.  Be sure not to cut these 
threads too short or leave them too long for obvious reasons.

All this can be accomplished in just a few minutes when you are familiar with 
these steps.  If you attempt to remove the needlecase cover without increasing 
the length of your thread, you will have to rethread a bunch of needles after 
the fact.
Hope this helps.
Ed
