Sewing Machine Slow and Not Feeding Fabric?

My sewing machine was totally jammed. I took it apart and gave it a clean and oiled it, but it's not feeding through properly and going slowly. When I don't put material there and turn by hand I can see that the feeder is moving up and down like it should and it is at the right height. It works okay if I pull it though myself, but it is just very slow and I don't want to have to pull it myself as that will probably cause more problems.

Can anyone suggest anything? I can't afford to take it to get repaired. I am hoping it's just something simple and I'm not knowledgeable about sewing machines! Thanks.

You may need new feed dogs. I have never had to replace mine, but I understand that if you do a lot of heavy sewing sometimes it wears out the little teeth, or you might need to adjust the tension on your presser foot lift, there is an adjustment on most machines to increase and decrease the pressure depending on the fabrics.
