The Singer XL 420 has jammed because the threading is not properly aligned. Check to make sure that the bobbin winder is on the right side of the machine and that the top thread spool is on the left side of the machine. If this still doesn't work, check to see if there are any obstructions in the needle plate or underneath it.
