I purchased the top of the line Kenmore machine about 35 years ago. It had the cams for embroidery or monograms. I really used it. It was very dependable and is still going I gave it to my DIL and she is still using it. I have a Bernina my second one. There is no comparison,however, there is no comparison in the price either. I think the Kenmore is a workhorse or at least it was 35 years ago.
