The Bernina Patchwork 140 does not do embroidery from a file (either built-in or external). You can do some free-hand embroidery by lowering the feed dogs. Depress the feed dog position button on the right hand side of the machine. It's below the balance dial and between the foot control socket and the power cord socket.
I hope this helps. ManualsLib has the manual for the Bernina 140; it's a shared manual with the Activa 130 and 131.
As far as I know, the Patchwork 140 doesn't have a needle stop up/down button. You'll need to use the hand wheel to bring the needle up or down, as needed. The Bernina machines that have a needle stop up/down button have this button below the LCD screen. (On those machines, it's usually the left-most button below the LCD.) I suspect the index giving a page number for the Needle Stop Up/Down button is a artifact of using the same index for multiple machines.
Difficult to say. Valuations vary depending on the condition, the accessories included, and where it is located. You can check eBay or some other sites to see how much similar machines are selling.
Some machines will not do any of their automatic forwards and backwards movement type stitches in reverse, are you trying to reverse in straight stitch or a more complex stitch.
The Activa is a late model quality machine, do you have a Bernina dealer locally you could ring up and ask or take it to?
