I find that I am more productive when I change the feed rollers just as soon
as the wax buildup line appears which is at about 150K - 200K stitches or
so. There is no groove in it yet but it does sew better. The groove usually
starts to appear at about the 300K range. But then again I quite often run
the machine @1300 spm. The manual says to use a soft cotton cloth and
alcohol to clean them. They should, in theory, be OK to put back in. I just
never have yet. If you used every needle equally and so had an honest
average you would be changing rollers every 250K stitches. It makes more
sense to drop the 4 million stitch reference and stress that operators
change whenever any needle reaches the 250K stitches mark.

First of all, thanks to the person who posted that you could take off the
red rollers to allow easier access to the thread feed rollers. That was a
life saver tonite. Had a problem with needle 1, so I looked at the thread
feed roller. Sure enough, cuts and gouges. So, I started down the line.
Out of the first 12 needles, 11 had some or many cuts in them. I assume any
cut is not a good cut.
Anyway, ordered more & just wanted to post the reminder that if you are
having thread break issues, don't forget to check this. ;)
Do other brand machines have consumable parts like these that wear out so
quickly? Just wondering. At about a buck a piece, they aren't braking the
bank, but it is a little bit of a pain!
One other thing, I noticed that the extra long tweezers that came with the
machine seem especially good at getting the rollers out. In the past I was
trying to use the small screw driver to pop them out and was struggling.
The big tweezers made quick work of the job!
