Presser foot on Brother sewing machine vibrates and moves all over the place. Won't show straight.

sounds like a bad place on the screw thread. see if the tightening screw will go all the way on without a foot in place if not then try adding a small thin washer (one that fits the screw) and see if that fixes it.

Brother CS-8150, "F04" what does it mean? I don't know what to do

make sure your foot peddle is fully pluged in. It's a foot pedal error code. Try unpluging your foot pedal and start the machine if it works without the foot pedal have the foot pedal repaired or replaced.

When sewing I am getting a clicking noise with each stitch. I have change bobbin etc. What is this?

Have you installed a brand-new needle? Usually, a bent or damaged needle will make strange noises. You can probably open the bobbin area and hand-rotate the handwheel and watch the needle action. Could be the needle/hook timing is off and the needle is nicking as it lowers to pick up the bobbin thread. ...

Brother has extensive website and customer service. If you go to their site for your country and put in your model number, they'll tell you if they can get you a manual. Most are just downloads.. very easy. I'd give you a URL but I don't know where you are located. They have fabulous customer service, so try there first.

Why won't my bobbin fill when spinning on the winder?

You have to either tie it to a side hole in the bobbin, or do about 6 turns by hand first otherwise it just slips.

My Brother CE1008 will load a bobbin but the machine does nothing but give me error E1 when I try to sew. What could be the problem?

This error code is often triggered when you try to sew with the Presser Foot it the UP position. Lower the foot, turn the machine off and on again. If this doesn't fix the issue the problem is probably the trigger lever inside the machine. The lever controls the cut-out switch for the presser foot. It is a common fault on Brother machines. The lever 'sticks' and doesn't turn off the safety switch. You can repair this yourself BUT you have to open up the body of the sewing machine to get to it. I've attached a video that explains it in more detail. *Note* If you do try to do this yourself make sure the machine is NOT plugged in. Also make sure you have remove All the screws before you separate the two halves of the plastic body shell. If you miss one you'll snap bits of plastic off possibly making the machine unsafe to use.

Presser foot down, but still get error "E1"

I had the same problem. It started after I took the cover off to fix something else. After I screwed the cover back on, I kept getting the E1 message even when the foot was already down. I took the cover off again, and I found that there is a metal tab at the top left of the front cover, that is pushed by a metal tab in the back that moves when you put the presser foot up or down. You can see this metal tab moving in the back if you put the foot up and down with the cover off. Just putting the foot down(I think) before putting the cover back on fixed it so one metal tab is on the correct side of the other metal tab.
