I found that I had to remove the stitch finger to thread the machine properly. Do remember to re-install it before starting to sew. If you are using 3-threads only, then remove and store the stitch finger. Puzzled that this instruction is not in the threading section of the manual.

First re-thread the machine starting with the upper looper(3), then lower looper(4), then the needles(2,1). If that doesn't fix it, it may be a matter of loosening the needle tension. Lastly slowly turn the handwheel and see where the loopers cross. The upper looper should come in just behind the scarf of the lower looper without any contact on the forward motion. Otherwise Your needlebar height could be off. Timing a serger is a very precise process and making adjustments could throw it out even further.
You may have re-threaded in the wrong order. The correct order is upper looper, lower looper, right needle, left needle. So 3,4,2,1 (if numbering left to right)
Make sure that you thread your machine in the exact sequence your manual tells you to, and that when you thread your machine, it is powered off, and the presser foot is up. If, you have a hard time seeing your manual, go to www.brother-usa.com support and then choose home sewing and embroidery, and then select your model # 925d and download your free manual. I have the 1034d and did not thread the upper looper first (3rd from the left) and it caused me grief. Now, I remember to follow the instructions exactly. Seems that the thread will loop around the lower looper if you don't do it right. Try this and if that does not work call Brother at 1-877-276-8437 and ask them.
If you go on YouTube and key in Brother serger 1034d threading they show you all kinds of good stuff. How to thread it, how to use different feet and the different stitches you can make.
I had the same problem with the blue thread- it would sew and inch then pop- mine worked wihtout breaking after I re threaded in this order: green, blue, red then yellow
