The magnet tutorials will really help. It's hard to learn quickly. Briefly, there are three parts to each magnet. 1 - the magnet itself, 2 - the magnet base, and 3 - the magnet zone. Simple steps to using the magnet: 1 - position the base close to the area that you want to affect - doesn't have to be too exact 2 - set the zone (it's a sphere) exactly over the area that you want to affect. There is falloff near the edges (the center of the zone is affected more). Remember you can use the x,y, and z scales independant of each other. Use at least 2 camera views to make sure you're right where you want it. 3 - Move the magnet in the direction (from it's base) that you want the morph to occur. You can also do scale changes on the magnet for other morph effects. You will probably only need a simply one axis movement to lift that fabric 4 - You can then spawn a morph target, delete the magnet, and control the effect with the morph dial. If you're still stuck, read the tutorials and do some practice.
