Thread is catching & breaking somewhere inside
According to page 18 of the manual, the only place the thread could be catching would be the tension discs or the uptake lever.
Lift the presser foot and run a heavier thread or flat, unwaxed dental floss through the threading procedure to see if this will clean out a thread that may have jammed into the discs.
Always thread with the presser foot up and make sure the uptake lever catches the thread.
If this continues, take the machine to an authorized Brother dealer for service.
The machine will not pick up the bobbin thread
the flat side of the needle shank faces away from the side of the needle eye that you thread through. In other words, if your machine threads from front to back, the flat part faces towards the rear of the machine.

- In the event that changing the needle didn't determine the issue, have a go at rethreading the machine, guaranteeing legitimate pressure, and cleaning the bobbin region for any build up or garbage. On the off chance that the issue continues to happen, consider counseling the machine manual or looking for proficient help.
