Best sewing machine to personalize items with monograms?

Brother Sewing/Embroidery machine. I have one and I love it. It comes with some built in patterns but there is a USB cord you can hook to your computer and upload many many patterns. There are many free ones and some for purchasing. You need win zip on your computer because embroidery designs are zip files. The only problem with the machine I have is that it only does a 4inch by 4inch design. This has not been a problem for me because I usually don't need one any larger. Mine cost around $400 and is very user friendly, light weight and the stitches are beautiful. If you haven't sewn for very long I would go to a hometown sewing shop to purchase a machine because they will be helpful when you have problems or questions. If you buy it at walmart you will be on your own. I have no complaints about my machine and it saves me money on gifts!
