when I see the shredding it is 90% certain the needle has a 'burr' on it...run
the tip of scissors 'down' the needle tip around it, if you feel a 'click' then
your needle is toast. Usually we get that after doing 6 panel hats-the center
seam 'pulls' the needle sideways as the needle goes into the needle plate and
it just bends it a bit. After that-burr city! And every once in awhile do a
'head down' and double check the needle plate-seems the screws don't hold it in
perfect alignment forever and it can shift just enough so the needle with
thread 'rubs' on the way through, more shredding.
