What Is The Difference Between A Vertical Sewing Machine And A Horizontal One?

I have just purchased a Kenmore sewing machine and I am trying to get more accessories such as buttonhole foot etc. Looking on Kenmore website some feet are to be used with vertical sewing machines other with horizontal ones and I have no idea what is the difference between the two of them. And also, if my sewing machine is Kenmore do I have to buy feet for it only from Kenmore or any other cheaper brand would work, too? Thank you in advance for your help.

    vertical sews up and down, horizontal sews across left to right

    vertical sewing machines have the needle going horizontally
    and horizontal machines the needle goes vertically (up and down like most home machines).
