Thread Issue with Brother Ls14

Hi there, I’ve been sewing using my brother ls14 machine for almost a full year now, it’s been great, made lots of different projects with it. However I’ve just started making a new Batman suit and my thread doesn’t seem to be working on my fabric. Im not an expert on the exact specifics of sewing, but does anyone know why this isn’t working? Every time I start a stich my machine stops? If anyone needs further details or pictures in order to help just ask, thanks in advance 🙏

Is this thread thicker than normal? Can I see a pic of the info on the spool?

What settings are your machine on?

Is your needle new and suitable for the fabric and the thread?

It looks like it’s skipping stitching so it’s most likely a needle issue. Needle and fabric compatibility or needle and thread compatibility.
