There are lots of things you can do with an embroidery machine. I have made quilts with embroidered blocks:

It's nice to make embroidered kitchen towels as gifts for people and you can embroider t-shirts and sweatshirts.
I love to make pictures: Here's a couple:

Right now I'm using mine to embroider a lot of snowflakes for the quilt I'm working on. I also did a big sunflower on one daughter's dress (her request) and butterflies on the other daughter's pajamas (also by request).
I'd love to use it more but my time is so limited these days, plus they don't really sell designs for the type of embroidery I'd really like to do. That means either digitizing my own designs or having someone else do it for me, and I don't have the time or money at the moment for either!

I make my own quilt labels, tea towels with Maxine are a favorite, have embroidered aprons for a non-profit fund-raiser, embellished a jacket, made name tags, made blocks for a quilt. I have a Janome 350E and love it.

I got one so that I can make my labels for my quilts. But some people have heard that I got a machine and asked me to some things for them.
