I never had problems with shredding threads, I use Natural fiber only
for I am allergic to anything chemical in fabrics.
 As for satin as a cover cloth, I had one wool cloth I put a satin band
to cover the edges. And very soon I had the problem of very fine threads
of the satin working themselves in my lace, and the band did not last
long....

Another reason for thread breaking are the needles. When I work as for
the moment duchesse in Egytian Cotton nr. 180, I have to put my needles
very close and my thread get caught between the needles, wiggling them
out too often makes them break. So I suppose the heads of my needles are
a bit sharp for the fibers.
