I had an order for 100 of the black rollers and was called that they are back-ordered and out of stock. After emailing Jeff I switched to the new rollers last week. I've done about 2,000,000 stitches on them and they seem to be holding up. I am having trouble with one but I want to get more info and try some tests before I talk to Melco about it so that I can answer questions. For the project I'm working on I use 5 colors. The new rollers are producing the best satin stitches my machine has ever produced. If they hold up like Melco says, it's going to be a huge cost savings. The 100 rollers were $164.00. The kit was $95.00. Considering that I expected to order another 100 before Christmas, this will definitely be worth it if they hold up.

That really irritates me. They aren't going to offer the old roller so basically we are FORCED to pay $95 to upgrade??? I don't like that at all!!!!! I have never had that much trouble with the old system and do not like being forced into spending my hard earned money on something that is unecessary.

Hey all, Just thought I'd drop in again and let every one know that didn't know (like me) but, I just had ordered this morning from Melco, some of the old thread feed rollers. and they called back later to tell me that Melco is no longer selling the old thread feed rollers. if you need some you either need to know someone who will sell you some of their extras or make your own, OR, upgrade for $95 to the new system. So hopefully all will go well when our first set shows up in a few days. I didn't realize that they were not going to support both systems. since I don't have much trouble with the old system. So just an FYI for anyone that might have needed more. you'll need to switch to the new system.
