Although I am a quilting teacher and sew a lot every day, even I was surprised to have the technician tell me at my third annual check-up that my Bernina 440QE had a stitch counter that showed 37 million stitches! At that time I did not know it even had a stitch counter! Just last week the machine had it's fifth annual servicing and it now has just over 50 million stitches - mind-boggling even though (and especially because) every stitch is mine! This is my fourth Bernina in 54 years so you can tell how much I love them - and no, I don't work for them!
