Change the needle and turn the needle slightly more to the right of center. I had a tech show me this trick and it works great. The specs say no more than 5% turn. This is only true when the machine is properly adjusted. I have turned as much as 15% to stop shredding. The shredding may be coming from the hook hitting the thread dead center. Turning the needle can stop this most of the time. Turn it a little bit several times or until the shredding stops.
