Default Bernina BSR - beginning stitches breaking

When I begin stitching with the Bernina BSR I have a difficult time making the initial stitches. The upper thread consistently breaks. My technique is to hold the upper thread snuggly in my fingers as I begin taking the first stitches so that it cannot 'pool' under the fabric. I also hold the fabric firmly with both hands so that it cannot shift. I have adjusted the upper thread tension to 3.0, have new thread, proper needle, oiled bobbin case...Any ideas anybody??
