First off, I have lost the instruction booklet for my Brothers Sewing Machine, Model Ls 2020. More like I severly missplaced it but I don’t have it for help.
I threaded the bobbin and threaded the needle but when I go to actually sew, the thread won’t go into the fabric. I sew through a piece of fabric, tak it out, and all I see are puncture marks where the needle punched through. I tried messing with the dials but no matter what I do, it won’t sew.
Please help. I’m not looking forward to hand sewing this project. ><

I think you need some lessons on how to use a machine.
I think I know what you are doing wrong but its so basic that if you dont know then you should have lessons before you do something like sewing your finger.
It sounds like you need a new needle. Try a universal needle . If you are sewing knits ,you need a ball point needle.
Did you draw the bobbin thread up through to the top after you threaded the needle?
.
It sounds like you have the needle in wrong..make sure the flat part at the top of the needle is facing the back…make sure your thread is correctly seated in the tension disc as well as the take up lever…… Sometimes it helps to go back and unthread and rethread the machine with the presser foot raised…..the bobbin needs to be inserted correctly as well,with the thread pulling in the proper direction.
