I have a Brother 1034D that I purchased this past year and have yet to be able to use. I have read the manual and watched the videos and practiced threading till I'm blue in the face. Here is the problem that I encounter. I sew a seam on a practice piece of fabric. I have come pretty darn close to having exactly the right tension settings. I chain off at for 4-5 inches after I finish sewing the seam. HOWEVER, if I go to sew another practice seam, it IMMEDIATELY starts eating the fabric and make a big KNOCK sound. I stop the machine, lift the presser foot and open the door of the machine. What I see is always the upper and lower looper threads mostly the lower looper/blue threadwrapped about twenty times around the set of two needles which lie flat in the needle bed. What is going on? What am I doing wrong?
SOURCE: Thread in needle or bobbin keeps on breaking
The tread only breaks in the needle. what can i do . i don't get to sew anything . I tread the needle and get everything ready and start the machine and as quickly as that the tread is broken and the machine has not sewn at all.

if thread is good quality you may have a sharp groove in your needle plate hole from needle breakage. if so, polish with emery tape.

SOURCE: Brother 8500D sewing/emb machine - upper thread stops feeding
If the thread is hanging up at the spool - this could be the way it was manufactured, a nick in the spool end or the thread is unwinding too fast, puddling and wrapping around the spool pin.
Keep the bobbin case and surrounding area clean and free of thread tangles and snips. Thread tangles in this area can cause the machine to stop.
When the presser foot is down on any sewing machine, the tension closes and you cannot manually pull the thread through.
Sulky and C & C black tends to fray more than other brands of thread.
If the problem continues, the machine will need to be serviced by a professional.

Top tension back to 4 and leave the bobbin tension as is.
Make sure you have a new needle for the type of fabric being sewn installed with the flat side to the back of the machine. A bent needle can sometimes go unnoticed.
Always thread the machine with the presser foot up and this will give proper tension to the stitch.
Check the manual to be sure you are threading correctly (always with the presser foot up) and that the bobbin thread is feeding in the correct direction from the bobbin spool and through the guides.
Take hold of the thread at the needle as you lower and raise the needle to pull up the bobbin thread. Take both thread ends under the presser foot and to the back of the machine.
SOURCE: lower thread tension very loose
is the bobbin threaded correctly? the screw on the bobbin case is the point to adjust its tension.
