I don't have a Brother but I had the same problem when I did some FMQ and I would have to stop and rethread the top. It was very annoying. It would do ok on the practice squares but once I did it on the quilt somehow I was doing something to make the top thread jump it's threading position. Now I'm gun shy but I'm going to try again soon.I also had flannel on the back of the quilt and someone told me that could have been the issue as it doesn't slide as well.
