loosen the bobbin tension to compensate for the upper being loose.
I have a TL18LS on a grace made frame... if you have a metal bobbin case, do a drop test. Place the bobbin in the case on the palm of one hand. Take the thread coming off the bobbin case in the other hand and gently pull on the thread. The case should start to stand up and come off your hand, but then the thread should pull out straight and smooth, with just a hint of tension.
The above can also be done as a drop test... keeping your palm under the case...while holding onto the thread coming off the bobbin case, let the case drop over your palm...the bobbin case should gently drop down the thread, it shouldn't hesitate, and you shouldn't have to shake the thread to get the bobbin to drop.
Now adjust the upper tension looser until it matches the bobbin thread.

I have a Juki sewing machine on a Grace frame that I am having issues with.
It loves to break needles!
I stitched 3 rows that didn't look to bad but not the best either. The tension needed to be adjusted. I tightened it a little and now it's breaking needles. If I put it back where it was the top tension is to loose.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for listening and your help.
