Sometimes it will pull the thread out of the needle when starting back and I have to rethread. I cannot find my manual can anyone give me some ideas on what to try. Tension seems fine and sew pretty just aggravating as you have to stand there to sew anything out and restart after every letter.

Have you tried different needles and fabric to see if there is a difference? You'll probably need to bring your machine to a dealer for service. The MB-4 isn't serviceable by the user in any way. ------------------------- Temecula Valley Sewing Center The Temecula Valley Sewing Center Blog

If it stitches out without a problem you have isolated it to that needle/thread run. ------------------------- MC11000 w/SE upgade, Brother PR 1000, Digitizer MBX, PE Design Next, BES Lettering, HQ Avanti 18, ProStitcher, Art & Stitch

This leads me to think that it is indeed breaking but from underneath. When you get these "false thread breaks"... take a stiletto to sweep under the foot and pull the thread back to the top. Make sure you have the recommended length of thread tail before restarting. My 200 E likes about 4-6 inches. Also make sure your bobbin is unwinding in the correct direction. ------------------------- A bar-tack makes a great way to staple papers. Imagine the look on their faces!
