Peter / Sweden Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I retreaded my stitcher again this week, and i always think of Blaze at Shoe System Plus in New York when i do it. (thank you Blaze) He learned us this trick at a seminar in LA this summer. I heard several people saying - "All these years..... and it was that easy...." Here we go.... Fast and easy without glue, (Superglue? ), knots etc, etc. This post has been promoted to an article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 50 years a cobbler and still learning, so simple but I've never heard of it before, thanks Peter, if only it would work on the Patching machine with a fine needle.

ironplanet uk900 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Good Idea Peter. But I just tie the two threads together and pull it through, never had a problem. As long as you have the machine in a position were the lock isn't on, the knot isn't a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Key Wizard Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 if only it would work on the Patching machine with a fine needle. Been pulling new cops of thread through like that for ages... Yes Hugh, on the patcher just tie new thread to the one running on the machine & pull through, you'll need to re-thread the eye in the needle though.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 It's the Eye of the needle that i have trouble with Tel I.m blind as a Bat, fortunately I only have to thread it about once a month and use a large magnifying glass.
