Go to this link; http://www.sew4less.com/manuals.php and select your machine brand and model. Unfortunately they are not free, but you can purchase the instruction manual, the parts manual and the service manual of you wish. Sorry i hunted for free ones with no success. Hope this helps :)

SOURCE: bobbin compartment trouble

Put the needle in the up position. Tilt the machine back with one hand and lay the hook in its position on what is called the hookrace. The little ledge inside the the circle opposite the other part that moves. Then take the outer ring and lay that in over top of it. There is a small pin on the bottom that fits into a notch. The two small nubs should be on the outside, then click the two black knobs over those. Put the bobbin in the case and the thread through the notch up under the tension spring on the case. Looking at the back of the case, pull the thread and in most machines the bobbin should turn clock-wise. Now snap it onto the post.
Your good to go.
Good luck.

You can see a the directions on www.ehow.com, they have nice large diagrams. About holding the bobbin case and the tab being used to insert it in the shuttle case. Your manual does a decent job too, with diagrams that you can enlarge. If, you can't find your manual go to www.brother-usa.com and under support you can get a copy to download for free. Save it to your computer.

The needle fell in the slot, my husband turned the machine upside down and the needle didn't fall out but a piece of the bobbin area fell out and I don't know how to put it back. Any suggestions.

Without knowing the make & model machine, we are basically unable to assist. Probably, the best thing you can do is download a copy of the user instructions:

Make Model manual

There should be an access cover to the bobbin area. Most likely, the needle is either stuck inside the bobbin area or has dropped through to the bottom of the machine. As for installing the bobbin & bobbin case, the manual should have instructions for your to follow.

I keep getting an E6 error message - tangled thread. I think it's the bobbin thread that's getting tangled, and I can't figure out why, or how to fix it. Any ideas?

It could be that the bobbin is being put in upside down check to make sure that you do not need a bobbin with a magnet on one side. also make sure there is no thread tangled inside the bobbin housing it will cause the timing of the machine to be off and cause issues with your needle picking up the bobbin and thus cause a mess inside you bobbin housing

I can seem to get the bottom thread up

Try replacing the needle. sometimes a bent needle causes this.

It sounds like your timing may have been altered when your bobbin housing fell apart. This is difficult to repair without specialized tools and knowledge, so best get it to a repair shop.

If the machine is a common brand like Singer or Kenmore, go online and search for a manual. Many are available for under $10 or are free to download.

Bobbin holder

Make sure the needle is in the highest position before you try putting the bobbin holder in. The bobbin holder has a metal 'finger' which fits into a 'slot' in the housing and it only goes in if you have the needle up.

Plastic casing around the bobbin

That piece is a sweep that helps keep the hook clean. It is not necessary for the machine to use, I have thrown away many of them. If you can get your hook put back in you should be ready to go.
good luck!
