To throw another number out there, the Innova can go at 3000 stitches per minute. I think that may be the top number for longarms. However, you are seldom stitching at that rate. Suppose the average rate this longarm has been stitching is 1000 stitches/minute. 2,000,000 stitches/1,000stitches per minute=2,000 minutes = 33 hours. Even if you figure that it has averaged only 500 stitches/minute, that's only 66 hours. That's not much time for a 2-year-old machine. I agree with Tashana that the real question is how well the machine has been maintained, and whether it stitches well now, but I definitely wouldn't worry about the 2 million stitches.
