Here's a manual for your machine:

Brother BP2100 Operation Manual Page 169

Looks like there are a lot of possible error codes for your machine. However, it does have some specific information about totally rethreading the machine when things go haywire.

Shut the machine down, let it set for awhile, and then power it back up. Sometimes that will clear the error.

Searching the internet, it appears that F02 code is a common code for Brother machines, so if you don't find the answer, it may be worthwhile to contact the Brother Support team.

I have a Juki 2200 mini. my needle broke. Inserted a new one and now stitches are off and automatice threader does not work. It seems like my needle does not go in right

Hm, sounds like you should probably take it for service. If you cannot install the needle properly, then something is out of sorts with your machine.

Presser foot stuck in down position

There could be a piece of the needle stuck in the bobbin area, try sliding the base plate off [not easy with the foot down i know] and see if you can clean it out.

Janome 1600p-DBX is not taking the bobbin

have you checked to see if the needle is inserted correctly into
the needle clamp,,all the way up into the needle clamp
& that the needle is turned the right way
also check to make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly into the
bobbin case.
if you have checked for this then the following is possible
it's very possible that when you broke the needle that it caused
the machine to jump time, & it would have to be taken to a sewing
machine shop to be retimed.

Am considering buying a used Singer Featherweight 132q. Have been trying to find any problems that this model may have but have not been able to find anything, Please help.

I've been sewing for over 30 years,, my suggestion is,, let them sew on the machine so you can watch,, & even ask to sew yourself,,, let them show you what the machine can do.. they should be willing to demonstrate the stitches & anything else the machine can do.. ask questions like has the machine got any problems,, has it been resently been serviced,, does it have a operation manual with it,, has it been well taken care of? are there any scratches on it? are there any burrs around the needle plate,, use your fingers to rub over the needle plate to see if it's smooth or not,, even check the small area in the needle plate where the needle goes down to meet the bobbin... have they ever broke a needle sewing? that can cause the machine to go out of time..
good luck

Brother Innovis 4000 D stopped sewing

These machines are known to freeze up in the needle bar crank, even when only a couple of hours old. If it is less than a year old, a Brother certified service center will fix it under warranty.
