It's like learning anything.

Learning to sew was a never ending sequence of small steps that required lots of looking up to actually grok.

Thread the bobbin then put it in the bobbin holder, then swap in a denim needle, thread the needle from your main spool, switch to a straight stitch with a wide length, and adjust your tension disks appropriately while practicing on a sample patch. Place your main garment in, do a backstitch, and sew your lines.

All of this is super simple, but if you're just getting started, each step requires a manual (and it even glosses over a few really important parts like making sure to put your presser foot up or down while sewing).
