First, Ackermann Isacord is very good thread .... as are the Groz-Beckert 
needles. I know because we use both.

You don't say if the thread shredding / breaking problem is with all needles or 
just one. If just one, then carefully check the upper thread path for a rough 
spot or nicks. 

If the thread shredding occurs on all needles, then check your rotary hook for 
rough spots. Use the end of your finger nail or a q-tip to find rough spots.
 
Overly dense stitching can also produce thread problems. Have you reduced 
stitch density in you small lettering ?  

Never really heard of thread "twisting" as you describe so don't know what is 
causing that but since it is happening on all needles, then perhaps it may be 
something to do with the roller drive system or the rotary hook area. Maybe 
even a software issue [a shot in the dark] ??

Have no idea what the "crunch" may have been but I'm sure one of the techs on 
this list can come up with an answer for that.

Good luck

Bob
