Practice Practice Practice!!! LOL
A stitch regulator regulates the speed of your machine depending on how fast you move your fabric, a handy tool but not necessary once you practice.
I would like something to make the fabric slide easier as I have a home made quilting table and although it's smooth the fabric doesn't slide as easy as the bought tables.
I also had a homemade table (to fit my disability) before I got the longarm. To make the top very smooth, I took those 12" self-sticking floor tiles and put them on the top. Worked like a charm! The top was smoother than a baby's bottom :)

Just an idea...
