Examples

“To "stitch aloft" is the best way on welts, too, for the same reasons stated above.”

“Shoes that are stitched aloft go through the same operations as the channel-stitched shoes, with the exception that the rounding machine contrivance of cutting is eliminated.”

“But, in stitching aloft, the groove in the sole should be deep enough to protect the thread from the buffing operation, provided that the lock cannot be reached; the nearer to the top, the better for the wear of the seam.”
