When threading a serger, you MUST follow this sequence.
1. Upper looper
2. Lower looper
Then thread your needles. If your thread breaks, you must un-thread your needles before re-threading your loopers.
Serger thread breaks
1. Is the serger threaded correctly?
2. Is the needles inserted correctly?
3. Is one of the needles bent or damaged?
4. Is the tension adjusted too tightly?
5. Is the tension adjusted to accommodate thickness of thread being used?
6. Are you using inferior quality thread?
7. Is the thread feeding of the cone/spool freely?
8. Is the needle size correct for the type of fabric being used?
9. Are the needles being used the correct one for the serger?

Make sure you have fresh serger thread and at it is best when you first start to use as many different colors as there are spool holders. This way you will learn which thread is doing what on the finished seam. Sergers can be frustrating...so take your time to really understand how they work.
One final note. EVERY new material needs a new tension adjustment. Always test sew on scrap and adjust tension to balance stitches before you try sewing your project.
The needle thread breaks
1. the needle thread is not threaded properly
2. The needle thread tension is to tight
3. The needle is bent or blunt
4. The needle is incorrectly inserted
5. The needle thread & the bobbin thread are not set under the presser foot when starting to sew
6. the threads were not drawn to the rear after sewing
7. The thread is either to heavy or to fine for the needle
here are some suggestions
Is machine threaded correctly, check each thread guide, all tension dics
Are needles inserted correctly
Are the needles bent or damaged
Is tension adjusted to tightly
Is tension adjusted to accommodate thickness of thread being used
Are you using good quality thread
Is thread feeding off cone/spool freely
Is the needle size correct for the type of fabric being used
Are the needles being used the correct ones for the machine
