I did not have this problem with cotton thread, top and bottom. I have threaded the machine per the examples for polyester or thread that tangles or breaks (both of them) in the instruction manual, but it still only goes a little ways before the top thread breaks. Can you tell me if you have had luck with the invisible thread, and if so what settings you use? Thanks so much!
I agree with JBug. Invisable thread is a thin thread but it's stiff and somewhat sticky. Because it's thin, logic says to tighten the tension. Because it's stiff it doesn't go down to the hook and make the loop easily, and sticky so it drags through the tension discs, so loosen the tension.
