Step 1: Rest the bottom of the sewing machine on the four-fingers of your preferred hand. Let your thumb rest on top. Hold on tightly; otherwise, it will slip around.  Step 2: To thread the machine, put a bobbin next to the needle and thread the needle using the threader. Step 3: Once this is done, raise the cloth plate and adjust the cloth between the plate and fastening. Press the top of the stapler and move across the fabric.
