If it isn't your feed dogs, you may need to see if your pressure foot pressure is released or down tight. On some machines it is just a button outside the thingy that pops up. Other that that, you may need to see a manual to get the pressure adjusted. I would reach through my computer screen & do it for you but there seems to be some kind of blockage. Shoot a pic of the pressure foot pressure knob - it is on top of most machines just over the lever that raises and lowers the pressure foot. If your machine has a pressure foot pressure adjustment some where else you will need to locate that adjustment thingy. Some of the newer machines have more sophisticated methods.

I shot a pic on one so you get some idea what to look for:
The pressure foot pressure screw thingy is down like is it suppose to be

The pressure foot pressure screw thingy is up and fabric won't feed:

to fix that one just push on the thingy in the middle and it should go down and stay down and pull fabric through.
