Try a ball point needle, reduce your density, use a crisscross combo of mesh backing, and don't overly stretch the fabric when hooping. Also if it is occuring in small lettering or small elements with tight curves, reduce your needle size. There is the possibility you have a bur on your needle just enough to catch and tear the fibers, yet still sew. Hard to tell without more info. in your question, but these would be good starting places. Hope this helps!
