I bought a new embroidery machine and would like to know if anyone knows a good machine to buy to sew on patches. Thanks

Use your embroidery machine. Study up on applique. Use the machine to lay down the outline stitch. Use a spray adhesive to apply the emblem, and then add your final stitch to sew on the edge of the emblem.

You can also use peel and stick backing to hold the emblem in place. We've got a couple of posts on our blog about how to sew out single patches. You can find them here:
