  The Brother Sewing Machine might not be working because the main power switch is off. Turn it on. Another reason could be that the bobbin-winder shaft is pushed to the right; if so, move it to the left. Also, ensure you are using the foot controller properly.

Choose a thread and needle suitable for your fabric. Also, make sure the presser foot holder is properly attached. Adjust the tension of the upper thread. Ensure you are using a bobbin designed for your machine and that the bobbin is set correctly.

  If the fabric does not feed through your Brother Sewing Machine, try lengthening the stitch length. Remove the darning plate if it's fitted on the needle plate. Use the right combination of fabric, thread, and needle. Remove any tangled thread, cleaning the race if necessary. Attach the correct presser foot for the stitch you want to sew.

  If the upper thread keeps breaking on your Brother Sewing Machine, it might be due to incorrect threading. Make sure you've threaded the upper thread properly. Also, check for knots or tangles in the thread and remove them. The needle might not be right for the thread, so choose an appropriate needle. Lastly, the upper thread tension could be too tight, so try loosening it.

  If the needle on your Brother Sewing Machine breaks, ensure it's correctly installed and the needle clamp screw is tight using the oval screwdriver. Replace the needle if it's bent or blunt. Also, check that the upper thread is threaded correctly and that you're using the right combination of fabric, thread, and needle. The presser foot should also be appropriate for the stitch you're using. Other causes include upper thread tension being too tight, pulling the fabric too much, or the spool not being fitted properly. If the needle plate area or bobbin case is scratched, contact your retailer or the nearest authorized service center. Finally, make sure you're using a bobbin designed for your machine.
