There are several things that can be checked that could cause the fabric not to feed.

Check the stitch length to see if it is set at no feeding (0), if so, reset the stitch length to between 2 and 3.
Check your needle is not damaged. Insert a new needle; making sure the flat side of the needle is toward the back.
Check to see if the thread is tangled.
Unthread the machine, remove the bobbin from the bobbin case, clean underneath the needle plate of any lint or loose threads and rethread the unit completely.

Check to see if the feed dogs are up. The feed dogs are up and will help guide the fabric.
Be sure that the darning plate is not installed on the needle plate.
