No Bill,
It is not common. What I have found is that the sewing arm cover (silver
color) unfortunately has very clean and sharp edges from when it was cut at the
factory. If this front edge is slightly higher than the back end of the needle
plate, the sharp edge will cut a hole through the backing around the furthest
back edge of a small round hoop while sewing.
Try loosening the four set screws on either side of the sewing arm cover and
see if you can set the cover further down into the sewing arm so that the
leading edge is equal to or slightly lower than the back edge of the needle
plate.
If that doesn't work try this...
Remove the sewing arm cover from the machine. With a grinding file, grind down
the top edge until it is tapered down - possibly a 45 degree angle. Then take
fine sand paper (around 600 grit) and polish the tapered edge to smooth down
any rough edges created by the grinding.
Replace the cover making sure the newly tapered edge is facing the front of the
machine. Verify that the leading edge has a smooth transition from the needle
plate by sliding your hand front to back across the two surfaces.
Hope this helps.
