Durban Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Had a pair of shoes in last week that had 5 lots of stitching, which took me about an hour to clear out. There wasn't much to work with once all the stitch was clear What tricks and tips do you have to clear the stitching???? Cheers Durb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray T. Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 HI The same as was stated but with a few extras.If the welts are plastic you can heat up a area and the threads will pull out fast.If its a leather welt then try spraying a little wax thinner on the threads to soften them up and they should pull out easier.
