I have a Bernina 1260. I bough it gently used and it's a fantastic machine. It has some embroidery stitches and the alphabet and numbers but doesn't do embroidery designs. I have three vintage Singers - FW, 301, and 15, straight stitch only, and they sew perfectly. I have a Brother 1500 and it's my free motion quilting machine. I have a Singer Quantum and it sews all the decorative stitches perfectly. I have two Janome Jem Golds. I have a Singer Serger somewhere, I seldom use it. I only bought two of these machines, the rest were gifts. So I keep them.
