How we assign awards →The differences that matter
- Needle threader: automatic on the CP100X, semi-automatic on the 6700C → every thread change is quicker on the Brother.
- Speed: up to 1,100 stitches per minute on the 6700C (manufacturer's declared figure) → a ceiling, not the pace of everyday sewing.
- Kit: 100 stitches, 8 buttonholes and 10 feet on the CP100X → you start with 10 feet without ordering anything else.
Which one to choose
Choose Brother CP100X if…
Choose the CP100X if you change thread often and want the needle to thread itself: it is automatic, where the 6700C is semi-automatic. You get 100 stitches, 8 one-step buttonhole types and 10 presser feet in the box. The compromise: the metal frame and the 1,100 stitches per minute belong to the Singer.
Choose Singer Heavy Duty 6700C if…
Choose the Heavy Duty 6700C if you want a 7 kg metal-frame machine with a free arm and stitches up to 7 mm wide. The compromise: the needle threader is only semi-automatic and there are 7 buttonhole types instead of 8.
