The thread can't just come "out" of the needle in the middle of a color unless, 
it breaks, or it is at a color change on start up, or is at a trim. Other 
mechanical issues could be hook timing, threadfeed motor, roller lubrication, 
threadfeed cam disk wear, lubrication in general,  needle depth, bad cones of 
thread, etc......especially the needlebars, rollers, and reciprocator. But, if 
the machine will sew other designs without issue, well...back to the 
culprit...towels and the specic design you are sewing. 

Where is your presser foot height at? It should not be up more than 1 or 2 
clicks from full down. It should not be "just touching" the surface of the 
towel. It needs to be compressing the loft out of the towel.

As far as the bobbin thread still being attached, it is attached at the last 
"completed stitch" as it must tie in with the top thread to complete a stitch. 
How tight or loose "is" the bobbing tension? 

Will this golf design sew on other types of fabic without issue?

The kicker here is that you indicate that you sewed 81 without issue. 

Is the "auto acti-feed" actually working? That is, do you have lots of activity 
showing on the display graft? Where is the "auto lower limit" set to under 
Settings,Threadfeed?

How tight/loose are you hooping? Is the backing being hooped tightly with the 
towel material? What kind of backing?

Bottom line....as I said before, the thread cannot "just" come "out" of the 
needle in the middle of a color unless there is a separation, which means it 
broke or there is a trim or color change.
