The differences that matter
- Built-in stitches: 200 on the C7220, 100 on the CP100X → more stitch choice without changing machine.
- End of seam: automatic thread cutter on the C7220 → no reaching for scissors after every seam.
- Walking foot: included with the CP100X → layered fabrics can be sewn without buying anything extra.
Which one to choose
Choose Brother CP100X if…
Choose the CP100X if you sew layered fabrics that tend to shift: the included walking foot feeds them together, pushing from above as well. You get 100 stitches, 8 one-step buttonholes and 10 presser feet in the box. The compromise: the 200 stitches and the automatic thread cutter belong to the Singer.
Choose SINGER C7220 if…
Choose the C7220 if you want 200 stitches to pick from, an automatic thread cutter and a start/stop button. It has a metal frame, weighs 6.3 kg, has a free arm and is rated up to 800 stitches per minute. The compromise: the included walking foot comes with the Brother.
