it is because thread (or possibly a broken needle) is stuck in the bobbin area. The thread does not need to be very long so it may be hidden. The other reason it has happened to me is right after I wind a bobbin. I forget to move the spool pin back to the left and then the machine will not work at all until I move it back to the correct position.
