Default Breaking thread?

Hi I wonder if anyone can advise me please as to how I can prevent thread constantly breaking when I'm either doing embroidery/quilting. I'm currently trying to quilt an inbuilt design on my machine on a hoop. I have matching threads in the bottom line 60wt in the bobbin and top thread and am using a top stitch needle. I'm also supporting the weight of the quilt to minimise pressure but the thread keeps breaking. Also there are small bits in which the pink bottom thread is visible in the top. Is the tension too high? I have an mc12000. At the moment it's quite literally driving me bananas?
