Me too! I am ashamed to say I've had a serger (past tense-got a new one!) for 8 years and never broke or changed those needles - probably still in there! :( I grew to hate that machine...
I plan to be kinder to my machines in 2011!
Probably because you never changed the needle. When you think how fast and how many times that needle penetrates fabric, it should probably changed more often than a regular sewing machine.
