Sounds like you have the upper threading wrong, or you have the upper tension set too loose, set it to 5.

I was sewing with my Brother and it got stuck- whenever I tried to sew, a whole bunch of bobbin thread made a mess underneath the material and pulled until the bobbin thread broke.

Make sure you have cleaned out all the thread pieces in the bobbin area and it is clean.

Install a brand new needle.

Remove the top thread from the machine.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning.
Set the top tension to the midway point and test your machine. Adjust the top tension until both threads meet in the middle of the fabric.

Embroidering in blue thread, and the white bobbin thread was coming through on the material. Adjusted the tension to -8, sprayed the bobbin casing and area lightly with WD40, changed the bobbin, changed...

The white bobbin thread was showing on the top of the material correct? Make sure bobbin thread is in the tension correctly, check the top thread spool and make sure thread is not caught around it, if you have a manual top tension make sure that is set correctly. Personally I would never use wd40 in a sewing machine, sewing machine specific oil is always better. You seem to be describing two different problems. The thread bunching is probably from the thread jump out of the take up lever.

Thread keeps bunching on the bottom of the material when I sew. Have a Singer Futura 920

Generally bunching underneath is related to the top tension. Check your tensions - you might have to fiddle around a bit to get it right

The top thread just hangs and knots on bottom of material

try changing the needle-flat side goes to the back of the machine
check to see if the thread has come off the thread take up lever
try rethreading the machine top thread & bobbin
clean under the needle plate area & also in the bobbin area for lint or loose threads
