About this machine
The Brother CP6500 is a discontinued lightweight computerized sewing machine with 60 built-in stitches, 110 stitch functions and seven one-step auto-size buttonhole styles. Brother lists an LCD stitch selector, automatic needle threading, automatic bobbin winding and one-touch start, stop and reverse controls.
Distinguishing CP6500 from CP7500
CP6500 has 60 built-in stitches compared with CP7500’s 70, although both list 110 stitch functions. Check the exact model when matching a stitch chart. The number of stitch functions is not the same as the number of built-in stitches.
Checking a secondhand CP6500
Brother lists LCD stitch selection, one-touch start, stop and reverse, automatic needle threading and one-step bobbin replacement. Compare these controls with CP6500 instructions when the original manual is missing rather than relying on the CP-series name alone.
Sources for accessory fit
Brother’s accessory pages list CP6500 for SA156 bobbins and the SA120, SA129 and SA140 feet. These exact-model listings establish fit separately from the product description. Similar controls on another machine do not extend those compatibility claims.
