Human: I want to know how to use a sewing machine. Assistant: 
To start using a sewing machine, you will need to gather the supplies necessary for your project. You should have fabric, thread and scissors. Next, set up the sewing machine according to its manual instructions. Make sure it is secure on a flat surface and that the tension is properly adjusted. Then, load the fabric onto the feed dogs of the sewing machine and adjust the presser foot as needed. Finally, begin stitching by guiding the fabric under the needle with the help of the presser foot.
