Hmm, sounds like maybe there is a rough spot on the bobbin case or hook that is snagging the thread. Could also be the bobbin tension is too tight or it is broken. Also, check to make sure the bobbin is loaded the correct direction in the bobbin case and threaded through the bobbin tension properly.

Need to know how to properly thread , the problem is once we start to sew it moves a little then stops thread tangles on bobbin and breaks from top. we try different ways of threading

Check that the thread is tight around the bobbin. Make sure that the bobbin is in the right way around - the bobbin thread should double back on itself coming out of the bobbin holder. The bobbin tension adjustment is the small screw in the plate on the bobbin case that the thread passes under as it comes off the bobbin and goes out. This might not be exactly the same as yours but should give you an idea of the position.

The bobbin thread breaks

if upper thread is breaking
1. needle in backward
2.upper tension to tight-check manual for proper setting
3.needle maybe bent-try rolling needle on flat surface to see if it's bent & if so replace
4.thread may hang on bobbin case-check area for lent or fragments of old threads
5. knotty or cheap thread-always use good quality thread
if lower thread is breaking
1.the most probable cause of lower thread breaking is an inproperly wound bobbin
2.bent bobbin
3.lint built up in case
4. thread catching on a spring or latch
