#1 sounds as if they realize they're sorry while they're teasing her.
#2 sounds as if they're sorry after the teasing is over.
1. Peggy and Maddie felt sorry about teasing Wanda.
= Peggy and Maddie felt sorry that they teased Wanda.
2. Peggy and Maddie felt sorry about having teased Wanda.
= Peggy and Maddie felt sorry that they had teased Wanda.
(What is the difference between #1 and #2? Is the explanation correct?)
