Backing shouldn't get caught if you have it hooped-no 'corners' hanging in the 
breeze so to speak. And your hooped item should be slightly 'above' the needle 
plate-not riding down on it.
The holes we have seen are from a thread not getting 'trimmed' or cut when the 
hoop moves to start a new area. It's random-and usually just clicking the 
presser foot down 1 click cures it. If the presser foot isn't holding down the 
fabric secure enough, it doesn't always cut the thread everytime and instead of 
having a 'jump' stitch it just pulls the thread taut and if the hoop moves too 
far...you get 1) needle break, 2) thread snap (and moves the backing!) or 3) as 
you find-it tears/pulls a hole in the shirt.
Now I'm not a tech or an expert on this...but that's what I've seen on our Big 
Red. It's gone...took off for a trip yesterday in a big truck. Brand new XT 
sitting here now waiting for our local tech to come up and set it up for us!
