Not sure about your machine, but this happens on my Brother 1500. It's an easy fix - there is a thread guide above the tension knob that has 3 holes. If my needle keeps coming unthreaded when cutting, I take the thread out of one of the holes in the thread guide. In other words, instead of using all three holes in the guide, I use two or one.
