You can also check that your presser plate is in correctly and without burrs. Good luck and I hope this works.
Additional InfoThere are several reasons why this would happen. In order of probability:- You are not holding the thread tails when starting a seam - The needle is not properly installed in the needlebar - The machine is not threaded properly - The machine needs adjustment or repair
--Check that your needle is not installed backwards. On my Singer the full-length groove (not the short partial groove) has to face you.
---Check needle is not bent.
---Check to make certain that the bobbin you are using is the correct one for your machine and that it is set in the case correctly.
Maybe the machine is threaded incorrectly. Consult your manual (can be found online) or do a search for "threading sewing machine".

Often, if it IS threaded correctly but the thread is still breaking, you need the timing adjusted which you can't easily do yourself.
You could take it in for servicing, and the service clerk can show you the correct method. It probably could use a tune-up, anyway.
Is it breaking or does it come unthreaded as soon as you start to sew? If that's the issue don't cut your thread too short when you finish stitching. Be sure to leave a few inches of thread or the machine will pull the thread back through the needle when you start to sew again.
If that's not the issue, you will need to get the timing checked at a repair shop. It's not a big repair and won't cost much but it won't work until you get it done.
The thread from the bobbin should start to creep up towards the feed dogs and make a loop that the needle and thread can "grab" to pull it up thru the hole for stitching. You might want to slowly put the needle down thru the feed dogs and then slowly with the winder not the pedal but with the winder slowly bring the needle up again. Try this a few times and see if the needle and bring it up. I've had it take a few tries; it doesn't always bring it up the 1st time.
Three possiblities come to mind. 1. You need to adjust the tension. If it's too tight, the thread snaps. If it's too loose, the thread tangles, then snaps. 2. Your needle is no longer smooth, and the thread is snagging on a burr. 3. Your thread is old and can't handle the pulling. (It may still be okay for hand sewing.)
It could break from thick fabric, or maybe if you pull on it to where it bends...
The tension could be to high on the bobbin, or the thread not strong enough for the material you are trying to sew. Try adjusting the tension first.
either the thread is too thin or your machine is broken. you should first try a thicker thread, if that fails return or sell your machine.
Perhaps you have the sewing machine tension too high? Perhaps you have cheap thread designed for hand sewing?
it takes the thread up and down so you can keep sewing

The take up lever is used in threading the sewing machine and to keep the thread tension at the proper level. If the take up lever is threaded improperly, the thread will knot up and jam in the machine.
Hand sewing is done by using a needle with thread, and joining two fabrics with the thread. Generally, for hand sewing, you would choose a thread size based on what you're sewing. The higher the wt number, the lighter (or finer) the thread is.
No but the sewing machines thread the needle for you will help.
Sewing thread is used to hold together two pieces of a garment or really anything that you sew...
Thread is generally used for sewing.
It is used to hold the bottom thread when sewing on a sewing machine

Standard sewing thread is an insulator, however there are special threads that are available that are conductors.
It depends. If your sewing thread is 100% cotton, yes. If youre sewing thread is 100% or any% polyester, no. Cotton is a natural material where polyester is a man-made, synthetic material.
