I don't think you have to worry about breaking your machine. But if you don't use the right stabilizer you can end up with puckering and unbalanced stitching. There are so many kinds out there, you will be bound to find the right one for you. Just remember, you need a couple different kinds depending on your fabric and what you're trying to do. It might help to get a book on the subject of machine embroidery for beginners.
