Good machines for Embroidering names?

I make spirit ties (Ponytail holders w/ ribbon) for girls and want to embroider names on them. I am looking to buy a sewing/embroidery combo machine. Any suggestions on what I should look at? I've been looking at the Brother se270 and se350. My concern is the 4x4 field may be too small if the name is long. I need something easy and inexpensive as I am a beginner. Thanks for your help! :)

    Spend the most you can afford to get a machine with a bigger sewing field. Anything else is a waste of money. It is hard to line up the extra hoopings for longer names. If you get a job for a whole team & can't do all of the names, you are out of luck. I suggest you go to dealers & inquire about tradeins where people have bought & then traded up. You'll spend less money than for brand new & get more for your money. It is not a cheap endeavor anyway you look at it by the time you include the supplies required to operate it.
