Before changing the settings of the sewing machine, it is wise to read the instruction guide carefully. It controls the pressure amount.

Blending or Breaking Needles
Sometimes imbalanced needles can break or blend. If a needle starts hitting other parts of the machine with noises, it may break the needle. If the feed dog not working perfectly, you need to change the presser foot. If the fabric slips, increase the presser, and if the fabric is held tightly, then reduce the presser foot.

And if you want to keep the original settings, try to use a different bobbin for this type of fabric which needs to hold a heavier or lighter thread.
