I wouldn't even begin to tell you how to start using the whip finisher as I'd only confuse you worse than you already are.

As for tying on, it's not too bad. Hold the end of the thread in your left hand and the bobbin holder in your right.with the thread behind the hook bring it up in front of the hook with your right hand so that it forms a V shape with the hook in the 'valley' of the V. Keep the tension with your left hand and make a couple of turns round the hook with your right and start to move towards the bend of the hook, trapping the loose end of the thread so that you have something which looks vague like the picture. It will take a short while to get the hang of but with a bit of practice you'll be fine.

Look in this thread, http://nita.myfreeforum.org/about492.html , shows two video's of the whip finish one by hand(my favoured method) and one with a tool.
