Sherry, long story short, I have the same problem with the tape slipping off the little roller. I love my ATG 714 and did not want another brand, type, etc.
This is what worked for me. I took a firm piece of clear plastic, I think mine was from the Spellbinders Nesties. Any firm plastic would probably do, I just wanted clear so I could see if it was working properly.
I cut a 3" circle out of the plastic (same size as the tape wheel).
Now you need to cut a 1" circle out of the center of the plastic circle.
You now have what looks like a donut
Now slip it under the little tab that holds the tape in place and then
slide the rest of the *donut* down onto the wheel. You want it snug
so it doesn't slip off.
Now you have a little cover that holds the tape in place. I figured this out about a month ago and it is still working without a problem. Hope this works for you. It's worth a try and then you don't have to send all those tapes back
