Thread breaks can be caused by SO many things here's a partial list to check:

1. Make sure the presser foot is adjusted correctly (too high will cause thread 
breaks, too low can "bruise" the fabric)

2. Make sure thread feed if on auto has the bottom limit appropriately set 
(Under Setting, Thread--too low will cause thread breaks, too high will cause 
false bobbin breaks)--you can always try turning the auto feed off and set the 
standard feed appropriately.

3. Make sure thread is coming off the spool without hindrance (if using a small 
spool sometimes the thread can get caught under the base)

4. Oil the rotary hook.

5. Dried out thread (put in ziplock bag in the freezer over night).

6. Bulletproof design, short stitches (edit)

These are my top check points.

As for the thread coming out of the needle, is this after a trim and it starts 
stitching again...if so, change the thread inch count to a higher number(I 
think it's under Settings, I'm not sure which tab; mine is set on 9).

My philosophy is that if the machine runs fine on the Ampass design, the 
machine is good and the operator needs to find what else is going on...usually 
something the operator can control. Good Luck.
