Default Glove issue - help needed

My housemate has just purchased some new gloves for her bike. They're a small fit as she has small hands but the stitching on the inside of the stretchy part over the second knuckle is hard and rubbing on her hands. The actual fit of the glove is perfect, so the leather itself doesnt need stretching. Any advice on how to soften up the stitching?
They're A* octane supermoto gloves.
Thanks in advance, guys.

Not sure on what to do here, but that's what happens when you buy £16 fake Astars from China!

If the leather doen't need renapur for stretching then just keep wearing until it softens or her fingers toughen.

Lol, I think she's now ordered some Stella SP2s as they don't have the stitching all up the fingers. I got myself some SP2s as well... plus an Arlen Ness twosie
