Step-by-step-fault finding
The secret is always to start with the simplest and most obvious possible causes.
Does it happen equally on all needles or just on one needle?
If it's just on one needle then the problem is above the needle plate.
Change the cone of thread
Check for correct threading including the check spring
Check tension adjustment
Change the needle
Check for damage to inside of presser foot hole
If it happens on all needles on one head only
Check for damage to the inside of the needle hole
Check for damage to the sewing hook
Check hook to needle distance
Check sewing hook timing
If it happens randomly on all heads and on all needles.
Did this thread breakage problem begin quite suddenly or has it always been a problem for you. If it started quite suddenly then what else has recently changed?
New design
New thread
Any recent accidents like running into the hoops
Try some of these
Check design for excessive stitch density and excessive small stitches
Try another design which you know has worked well before
Oil sewing hooks with fine machine oil
