Brother CP100X Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine with 100 Built-in Stitches

I was looking for a computerized sewing machine to replace my older Singer Simple. Since I am relatively new to sewing and still have a lot to learn about this skill, I did not want to spend a lot of money on a sewing machine. When I saw the Brother CP100X 100-Stitch, I thought it seemed like a good machine for a good price, so I decided to purchase it. I received my machine this week and spent some time experimenting with it. I am very impressed with this machine. It was packed very neatly in the box, and it was easy to remove from the packaging. I was a little concerned at first because this machine is light in weight compared to my old machine, but that does not seem to have any bearing on its performance. I experimented with everything from changing the presser feet to sewing the different stitches to threading and placing the bobbin, as well as a few other features this machine offers. Each function of this machine worked exactly as it should and I had no trouble figuring out what I needed to do and when/how to do it. Additionally, the instruction manual is very clear and easy to follow, as well as is the picture guide instructions, which also came with the machine. I find this incredibly helpful, especially since I do not have a lot of experience working with sewing machines, as this is only the second machine I've owned, and the first computerized machine I've experienced. My only word of advice would is to be sure and read through the manual carefully. The manual thoroughly explains the features of this machine, how to use them, and troubleshooting issues, should they happen; however, reading the manual is necessary so that one understands how the machine is best operated. I would absolutely recommend this machine for anyone who sews or wants to learn to sew. It is a great machine for a great price, and I am happy with my purchase.

It sews good, the needle threader is very easy to use, The 10.5 lb weight allows me to use it for retreats, quilting events, and guild meetings, instead of my pricey, heavy regular sewing machine. My mom bought one also for the same reasons I mentioned above. A quilting friend tried my machine and may be purchasing one as well. The low weight and machine features has made this a great choice for on the go sewing.

It was easy to set up, and it works! The price was a little more than Amazon, but a better deal with the next day delivery. Amazon expects you to buy their Prime service before it offers free delivery. For most other retailers, the price point triggers auto free delivery. Walmart upgraded to free, next day delivery. I needed it ASAP and so I bought it there.

This is a great basic sewing machine, ideal for beginners. I bought it as an additional machine to my Brother sewing/embroidery machine and it's doing exactly what I wanted it to do - piecing quilts and basic quilting. Setting up was very easy and the instructions were clear.

I started out with a beginner Brogher sewing machine. I loved it. It was time to upgrade. I knew I wanted a Brigher that did quilting and this does so much more! Highly recommend this machine! Price was same as Joann's sale price along eith Amazon. I got it the next day free shipping! Can't beat that! Walmart was best deal! I would definitely buy again!

There's nothing I can say that I don't like about my brother sewing machine. The price was good for all the machine does and all the feet and extending table that is included. It's easy to use and would buy it again if I was considering a machine, you won't regret it!!! Happy Sewing!!!!🧵

So far so good as I just got it today, so will report back later. My main concern is there was absolutely no warning that the styrofoam that was inside the cover was to remain there. It looks like the rest of the packing material so of course I thought it needed to be removed so now it has cracks in it and I have taped it together with that blue tape that held things together in packing. Would like a new styrofoam insert since mine is all jacked up

I really love this thing. I adapted to the cabinet from the Singer 832K I was using. That thing was my mom's and I'm 74! Yet I gave this 4 stars and not 5 for 2 reasons: 1) There does appear to be a hemmer foot available for it. I asked on the site about the SA127 and the reply was no, that is not compatible. I then asked what was compatible and received no answer. Apparently the SA164 is not compatible either. Are there others? I can't find way to filter for hemmer feet on Brother web site. 2) The other day I loaded up a new thread and when I started a straight stitch--what a mess on the underside! I re-strung the thread being more careful and that corrected it, but I am not sure why. I think it has to do with the way it goes through the tensioner. There is a little guide that the thread needs to be in front of, apparently, but the instructions do not specify that.

I have had my machine since August just turned on the back sticht now I cannot turn it off and it will randomly back sticht as I am sewing not just at the beginning and end also getting F2 error and the book says it malfunctioning.
