I just recently bought a LA and had BIG TIME buyers remorse. I am slowly getting it over and the more I use it, the more comfortable I am with it and all the quirks that come along with it..ie. tension issues, squaring fabric, batting choices etc. I will say that I am finally beginning to "bond" with me machine, but it has taken 2 months..lots of freak out attacks as it was as much as a car!
