Walking feet attach much the same way on most machines. They can be boogers the first couple of times. It helps to tilt the foot and guide it toward the needlebar from the side in order to get the fork (if your foot has a fork--some just have a bar that sets on top of the needleclamp screw) around the needleclamp screw. In cases of extreme frustration, I've removed the needleclamp screw and then reattached it once the foot is in place.
Just use patience. If frustrated, walk away. Whatever, do not force or bend the foot in order to install.
Logically, the top thread should not be affected by a walking foot as the thread operates independently of the presser foot.
Suggest removing the top thread totally from the machine. ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning. Verify the thread path is correct.
Check that your walking foot is installed correctly--the fork-shaped piece needs to encircle the needle clamp screw.
If you continue to experience problems with the walking foot but none of the other feet, recommend contacting a Brother technician.
If, you read your book you will see how to do it. And if, you do not have your manual, go to www.brother-usa.com, under support, click on home sewing and embroidery, then select your model, and just below you will see your manual to download. That is free. The reason that I couldn't answer you was because you the foot fell off, did you mean the snap on one or the snap on foot adaptor? If, the book does not work for you write back.
When installing the walking foot, you must make sure that the arm that moves up and down is resting on the needle clamp screw. That arm controls the movement of the foot and that allows it to do its "walking" if it is not resting on the needle clamp then it will not work at all.
