Welcome from Virginia! Check behind the bobbin case if you have any stray pieces of thread which can wreak havoc on your tension. I have the HQ16 and was having my thread break every few stitches and after checking everything, I found thread wrapped around the shaft behind the bobbin case. A pair of tweezers is great for this job. Hope this helps.

Welcome from South Africa. Are you sure your needle position is in the right way?

Try flipping the spool of thread over, sometimes the thread gets caught in the slit at the top of the spool when coming off. I've had this happen to me a few times.
