I have the 1260. The decorative stitches on the lower right are accessed by pressing a button below them. Each button is for 4-5 stitches. Press the button until a light shows up below the desired stitch. When you want to go back to the regular stitches, press the button below the desired stitch on the front below the handle.

Many thrift stores separate the accessories away from the machines; sell the machine for 24.99 and the accessories for 7.99 they can make more money that way. Also people steal the accessories all the time. Crazy. Anyway, did you do a walk through of the store to see if they were in another area? Also, check in the electronics area - in the tubs of cords -for your foot controller. They sometimes end up mixed in with the other junk because people in the back think they are game controller foot pedals.

I did a search for Bernina 1230 Manual using Chrome (any search engine should work). There are free PDFs of your manual online. Enjoy your machine. Be aware that your machine will use the old style feet (not the snap ons). You can search for those also. I search for genuine Bernina old style feet. There are some made by other companies, but the quality has not been the same when I've tried them. I bought a foot from Sewingpartsonline.com this week.
