Knitting machines only do purl. The only exception is the Brother

One could just as easily say that they only do knit!
And of course, adding a ribber gives both knit and purl in one row.....

A ribber, a garter bar, or you can do single stitches with that little
double-ended latch they sell for the Brother garter carriage.

My inclination would be to try some tuck patterns to find a surface
texture that pleased. Tucking on the machine is a treat, especially if
you've done a tuck pattern with two needles.
