Barbara,
This is commonly referred to as a "thread fray" or "fraying of the
thread". An embroidery thread is comprised of two smaller threads twisted
around each other. So what you're experiencing is one of the two threads is
breaking where as the second one is still hanging on. This can be caused by
several things...
A bent or compromised needle
Needle rotation may be rotated too far
A burr or scratch along the thread path including the needle eye, needle
plate, rotary hook, bobbin basket, retaining finger, etc..
A damaged or compromised hook point - from something like a broken needle
Hook timing may need to be reset
Needle case could be off center
Needle case could be loose in any direction
Do a little trouble shooting first. Change to a brand new needle and make
sure the needle rotation is straight forward. Try sewing on different
needles-move the spool of thread to different needles. Try sewing on a
different spool of thread. Try sewing at slower speeds. Verify your needle
plate is centered with needle. Verify your needle is centered with the
bobbin post.
Feel free to ask any questions pertaining to the above.

I'm getting "partial" shredding breaks......where it appears the inner
core of the thread usually stays intact, but the outer "shell" gets all
knotted up in the needle case area...

Hi there. A couple of things to try...more backing, as nylon is very
light, and sew slow....and depending on the type of thread breaks (clean
breaks or shredding breaks), check needle alignment, and add or subtract MT.
BEST WISHES!
