As far as the spacing, someone with a Brother can tell you, because I don't know about Brothers.
But when threading your machine, floss your thread to make sure it is seated in the tension disks correctly. See if that helps.

When you thread your machine, hold it where it comes off your spool of thread and after you pass it thru the tension disk, hold that end of the thread and before you thread the needle, just move it back and forth like you would floss your teeth. Then thread the needle. Make sure your needle is in the up position.

when I got my brother, I bought the PE basic so I could get patterns off the computer....there are actually thousands of free embroidery patterns. I paid about $120 on ebay for mine but cheaper than buying all those CDs.....try gogglings

Okay you can have several things going on. I have learned this the hard way with my 2 brothers. First only buy brother bobbins, go to a brother dealer, prices are good and you will get the right bobbin. I know I did the same thing bought the size that they said at JoAnnes and they aren't the same size. Also if you are using the net your tension might be to tight try with out the net. Your upper tension needs to be between 2 and 6 I would try 4. Last but not least, make sure the embriodery thread slides easily through your needle, because the eye might be to small. I hope this helps.
