The eye of the needle will always be a percentage of the width of the shaft of 
the needle itself.  Hence, a smaller needle will have a smaller eye. 
I don't know anything about "Tex 20" but if the name implies that the thread is 
a 20 weight, it's definitely larger than the thread that should be used on 
these machines.  40 weight is industry standard.
If the thread gets too thick, both the eye of the needle and the rotary hook 
may need to be changed to accomodate the thread size.
If I were you, I wouldn't be learning how to embroider with new machines and 
uncommon thread.  Switch back to standard commercial embroidery thread and see 
if your problem goes away.  If so, talk with a higher authority about what to 
do in order to sew with your unique thread.
Good luck with that!
