My brother is here today and I was able to film the issue. The top thread does not always catch the bottom thread and after a few revolutions it gets stuck. Here is a photo with the allen wrench pointing to where it gets stuck. There is a black thread stuck there. I have a 23 second video too, but it is apparently too large to upload here.

Thank you for your time, I believe it's best I take this to someone more knowledgeable than me.

Thank you for this link! I did hit a hard spot, I tightened my belt because it was slipping, clearly it's a little fast now. I hit a ring on a halter and bam!

There is a lever to the side, up is reverse, center is neutral, down is forward. I pull it down to begin sewing forward, it sews a few stitches then the lever bumps back up to the neutral position.

I broke a needle last week and now my machine will sew four to five stitches and kick itself out of gear. Any ideas what could be wrong? Unfortunately the owners manual isn't much help.
