Sounds like there might be some thread stuck in the bobbin shuttle area. Refer to the users manual for your machine to see how to disassemble the bobbin shuttle and race to check for thread. It would be a good idea to put a drop or two of sewing machine oil on it while you have it apart.

I need more info.
>Where is your presser fooot pressure set(1-9) it should be around 4?
>How fast are you free motioning (faster is better? from 1-10 10 being full speed.

>Never never use a needle smaller than a 90/14 for free motion (I know everyone's an expert...but trust me)
After all this, it's OK to tighten your tension up on top a little when free motioning and getting eyelashes/spider webs on bottom. around 6 should do it though.

when this happens have you check to see if the thread has come off the thread take up lever?
SOURCE: Top thread breaking while doing free motion quilting. Changed needle, rethreaded machine and bobbin.
ck your bobbin plate alignment if it got bent while free handing and needle came down and bent/broke then theres a good chance its out of alignment this usually requires replacement to repair this
