Baby Lock Anthem: which needle?

What the Baby Lock Anthem manual says about the needle system, sizes and fitting. The same manual covers BLAN.

What the manual says

Baby Lock Anthem Instruction and Reference Guide (US (Baby Lock official machine manual); English), checked October 23, 2026.

  1. 1

    Needle system

    Home sewing machine needles (no system code printed) (p. 46). Buy this system; a familiar size number alone does not make a needle fit.

  2. 2

    Size by fabric

    Lightweight fabrics → 65/9–75/11; Medium fabrics → 75/11–90/14; Heavy denim/canvas → 100/16; other heavy fabrics → 90/14–100/16; Stretch fabrics → ball-point 75/11–90/14 (p. 46).

  3. 3

    Fitting the needle

    With the flat side of the needle toward the rear, push the needle fully up to the stopper and tighten the needle clamp. (p. 45).

  4. 4

    Also in the manual

    The official manual includes a fabric/thread/needle chart for lightweight, medium, heavy, stretch and topstitching work.
