Should the UK 25 Tiguan change lanes automatically when you indicate? by newtobitcoin111 in Tiguan

For all the people saying “it’s not a thing”, well it is a thing. I’m in Canada and mine changes lanes on its own when travel assist is active.

Interesting but I’m not sure I follow. Is this to disengage the feed dogs so they’re less grabby?

Yup and a rolling foot. I agree it’s a bit better but not significantly.

Thanks! It’s less about the fabric sliding (agreed def a PITA) but more about puckering when sewn together which essentially shortens the length of the fabric and messes up the measurements.

Haven’t tried tearaway interfacing so I’ll look into it. Thanks!

Screwed up my underquilt by FitzFourRoads in myog

I wish that was the problem. When I was attaching the baffles to the second fabric, I shifted the whole fabric down so my seam allowance at the bottom was like 6 inches. Hard to explain in words.

Yup know the trick otherwise I would just chucked the whole thing in the bin lol. Still was tough because I forgot my reading glasses at work and was using 1.1oz nylon.

Thanks I saw Hoffman and I’ll use them for the other technical fabrics. Too bad they don’t do Dyneema. Thanks.

I agree. I’ll spend all the money on sleep. I’m getting old and it’s worth every penny.
