The Baby Lock Anthem is a computerized quilting and piecing machine built around free-motion work. Its headline feature is StitchSync stitch regulation with three interchangeable soles, which keeps stitch length even as you move the fabric by hand. A Guide Beam projects a sewing line onto the fabric, so you can sew diagonals and half-square triangles without marking. It has 11.25 inches of space right of the needle, a 10.1-inch color touchscreen with WiFi, a 7mm digital dual feed, 804 stitches and a knee lift. It does not embroider. Quilters who want to finish their own quilts on a tabletop machine compare it with sit-down longarms and with Baby Lock's own embroidery-capable models; reviewers single out the stitch regulator and Guide Beam as the features that matter.

Quilters who have used the Anthem praise the stitch regulator and the Guide Beam, and call it a strong piecing workhorse. The main caveat is that it does not embroider.
The Baby Lock Anthem is a computerized sewing and quilting machine. It does not embroider. It has 804 built-in stitches: 183 utility and 621 decorative. It also has 15 one-step buttonhole styles and 4 alphabets. Stitch width goes to 7mm and length to 5mm.
StitchSync stitch regulation watches how fast the fabric is moving and adjusts the machine to keep stitch length even in free-motion quilting. It runs in intermittent or continuous mode, or as a basting stitch. A Guide Beam projects a line of light onto the fabric ahead of the needle, so you can follow a seam or marked line by eye. It can also be aimed along the diagonal of a square for half square triangles. The 10.1 inch color touchscreen shows stitch width, length and tension together.
The Compact Digital Dual-Feed System drives the top layer at the same rate as the feed dogs drive the bottom layer. It handles 7mm of layers under the foot. The machine has 11.25 inches of workspace to the right of the needle, a top speed of 1,050 stitches a minute, and a knee lift. Other features include the NeverMiss automatic needle threader, an automatic thread cutter, an automatic presser foot lift, and a Class 15 quick-set bobbin with an independent winder. Four lamps provide 10 inches of LED light around the needle area.
