      It sounds like it’s breaking rather than coming unthreaded if you’re in the middle of a seam. Check and see if you have it threaded correctly and the tension isn’t to tight. You might have a burr on your needle and need a new one - that would also cause the thread to keep breaking.

      For the thickness of the needle to change the tension just need to change the thickness of the needle to higher.

      Michelle,

      If you cut your thread too short your needle will unthread - from reading your entire post this doesn’t seem to be the case. Does your needle have a slit in the eye that the thread is slipping out from? If so change your needle to a regular one. Perhaps if you can explain your problem a bit more I may be able to help more.
