I hang on to both top and bottom threads to start...unless I use a small piece of fabric to start..I have a Bernina and you should not have to bring the thread up but I find that is not wise...

Time to change the needle and check you are using the small hole throat plate, even if they aren't the main villains here, the can surely contribute to the aggravation. Remember, ripping is therapeutic. Be well.

Same here. Undid the foot, the needle and whatever else had a hold on that wouldn't let go.
