I didn't necessarily regret my long arm purchase but I did sell it in less than a year. The machine had a basic design flaw and no I'm not going to say what machine. But the main reason I sold it was because I have a bad back and because of the table height you'd end up stooping over a bit and it totally killed my back. Plus there was the whole standing up for hours on end to do the quilting. I can't do that either.
