There are a lot of YouTube videos for basic and advanced sewing. If you go to the site used by the company you got the machine from you may even find videos there for your specific machine.
Odds are if the thread keeps breaking it may be that it was placed in wrong, so it gets hung up. One of the first things I’d look at is if you have the thread on the spool in the right direction. One side has a slit to hold the thread when you are not using it and if you have that facing outwards it will snag your thread and pop it every time.
Then you got tension and other fun stuff that you can learn about in the videos.
I have gotten several books from the local library that did absolutely no good for me since they were written for people who know a lot more than I do. Videos however rock!
Good luck 🙂
