We don't have much information to go on, like how is it not stitching. Is the machine actually functioning (needle going up & down, feed dogs moving, is the motor working, is it acting like it's stitching but the threads are not forming a stitch?)
It really depends on what You envision yourself doing with the sewing machine and then finding the machine that has the most functions that fit your needs.

Empisal 889:
Most likely because your machine has not been serviced (oiled & cleaned) in a long time and the old oil has turned to glue and seized. This is probably the most common problem with mechanical sewing machines. A mechanical sewing machine should be regularly maintained..ie every 40 hours of sewing use or at least every six months when not in use. You may want to take it to a Bernina service technician. Ask for a bottle of Bernina oil for CB hook machines and ask if they will show you how to oil it.
is it possible that the needles are in backwards? it's very possible that the machine is out of time & would have to be taken to a sewing machine repair shop to be retimed
WOw Paying attention would have been best...Thread machine properly of course, insert bobbin spinning in the correct directions
a simple top stitch sounds fine. Go On You Tube and look for your machine, and a descent video of someone using it.

If its an older machine the foot conrtoller is probably in need of repair or replacement. A newer machine , computerized especially, will have electronic issues.
