ShoeTemps Tip of the Week – Pattern Splitting
So you have a Moccasin Stitch in a one piece vamp. How do you reduce the leather to allow for a well defined mocc?
Try a process known as Pattern Skiving, or sometimes called Pattern Splitting.
It’s really quite simple, in that you make a template (quite often from obsolete insole material). This template is placed on the finished side of the piece of upper material, the material and template are fed through a properly adjusted splitting machine, and only the area needed is skived (split) off.
