Are you working with sticky back Velcro by chance?
I've never done anything special when sewing Velcro except using a zig zag stitch.
Rethread both bobbin and top thread before trying again.
Sounds to me like something could be stopping the thread from going through the tention and the needle eye keeps rubbing against the thread, then it frays, then breaks.
I had a little burr on the bottom of my spool of thread and "sometimes" it would get caught and snag the thread. I checked it a couple of times before I finally found it. I used my finger nail file and filed it down. Same thing with one of my metal feet. I guess the needle hit it made the burr, I filed that one down too.
