Does anyone have problems with embroidery thread fraying?

I had this problem with all of the embroidery thread on my Brother 2002D.... I switched to topstitch needles and Poof! problem 99% gone. I still have some problems occasionally, but not every 10 stitches.... It is because there is a larger eye and longer/deeper scarf (slit down the front of needles) that creates less friction and less pull on the thread.

I use the Large EYE Organ needles with my Brother PE700II and it eliminates the shredding issue. My Brother does not LIKE Sulky or Coats & Clark brand. I used Mettler, PolyX, MetroEM and Arc thread. Brothers don't seem to like rayon thread at all but I can use it with a thread net. Another tip is to use a thread stand which gives the thread a longer distance to travel and keeps breaking to a minimum.
