YouTube video by Lisa Sorrell about welt
- pre-made welt is available pre-slashed or not
- slashing helps to bend around narrow toes
- wider welt also helps to bend around narrow toes
- shoe welt
- typically narrower
- the shoe welt Lisa sells is not pre-slashed
- cowboy boot welt
- wider
- width makes it easy to go around narrow toes
- the boot welt Lisa sells is pre-slashed
- slashing welt
- Do not slice all the way through the welt. The gaps will open and continue tearing toward the seam.
- 3:09 Lisa uses a push knife to cut slits in at an angle, pushing the knife parallel to the length of the welt strip.
- about half the thickness of the welt deep
- “as if you were skiving”
