When you say the thread snaps, where is this happening? Is the thread breaking before going into the tension discs or at the bottom in the needle area?
Do you have a setting to use different lengths for thread cutting? Check that the foot and or holder are secure on the machine.
What type of thread are you using? How does it come off the spool? Is it metallic?
Check the machine preference pages and re-set to default settings (if this feature is on the machine.)
Try a different bobbin, or spool of thread, or even a different embroidery design (if machine embroidery).
Thanks for your post, will reread later when I get in the sewing room. It is not an embroidery machine, and I am using Aurifil 50 wt as usual. The upper thread snaps once the blade cuts it, so then I have to rethread the machine. There isn’t a whole lot of info in the manual, and I haven’t knowingly changed any of the default settings, but will look through it in case any of your ideas are in there, thanks for trying to help.
