When we get the 'shredding' we run a fingernail done the needle in
question-and if there is a 'burr' you'll feel your finger tip catch on
it...and that means your needle is hitting on something-either off center
and hitting the needle plate, or your jacket is hanging off the table and
pulled the hoop as the needle went through-and the needle hit the plate. Or
someone repositioned the jacket as it was sewing or (I've done this)
accidentally hit the hoop arm bending over to get something...
doesn't take much at all to make that needle go sidewise, just a hair and
it will hit the plate underneath and cause a 'burr' when the tip bends a
little. That's what catches and unravels the thread but it keeps on
sewing....

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!
