[amayausers] Re: Questions about rollers

I switched all 5 of my machines back to the old style.  With the new ones there was too  much tread bounce even at a setting of one.  I was also getting a lot of slippage of the thread out the side of the red rollers and not enough tension on the whole thread feed system with the new yellow rollers, notched covers and red wheels.  Since I switched back I am getting 3-4 million stitches off per day with no problems except having to keep an eye on the old rollers for wear.
