You can also buy a reasonably priced Brother that will sew and embroider. I agree with Kathy, lettering isn't near as professional looking from a regular sewing machine that can letter. Embroidery machines have several fonts, many designs, you can change the font size from small to large. Embroidery machines do have an advantage. I have a Janome 350e and no two labels are alike, it really personalizes the items you make and share. I think your clients would really appreciate a unique label.
