Whether you’re interested in decorating, fashion or sewing with an artistic flair, Maria is the
perfect machine to bring those ideas to life. This exciting multi-purpose machine includes
23 built-in stitches, a 1-step buttonhole and adjustable stitch widths. And with 5 included
accessory feet, Maria is outgoing enough to handle a variety of creative projects.
This Getting to Know Guide will take you through a simple, step-by-step process on how to
wind your bobbin, thread the machine, set stitches and more. Once you’re familiar with your
machine, refer to the instructions and reference guide (packaged with your machine) for
additional directions.
Like all machines in the A-Line Series, Maria has the features and the durability to handle all
of your projects – you can always count on her to be there for you. Be sure to ask your
Baby Lock Retailer about Maria's friends in the A-Line Series, like Natalie, Audrey, Lauren and
Grace. From classic tailored looks to modern-day fashions, the machines in the A-Line Series
will help you sew and serge with success – all with the quality you’ve come to expect from
Baby Lock.
Winding the Bobbin
1
1. Pull the handwheel out to the right.
2. Draw the thread from the spool. Guide the thread around the
bobbin winder thread guide.
3. Insert the thread through the hole in the bobbin from the inside to
the outside. Put the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle.
4. Push the bobbin to the right.
5. With the free end of the thread held in your hand, lightly press the
foot control. Stop the machine when it has made a few turns, and
cut the thread close to the hole in the bobbin. This keeps it from
tangling in the bobbin case.
6. Press the foot control again until the bobbin is fully wound,
and then stop the machine. Return the bobbin winder spindle to its
original position by moving the bobbin winder spindle to the left,
and cut the thread.
7. Push the handwheel in to the left (original position).
