What is the stitch count on the design? What type and size of needle do you have in the machine now?
Some tips here that may help with the issue.

There are different weights of the WSS. I use a heavy weight one for FSL projects.
Can you post a picture of the mishap? Is it tearing around the edge of the design where the stitches are heavier?
Hang in there. Most of us have those mishaps too. It gets better.
Another one that may help.
