I want to start prepping my new GMD unbleached flats I got yesterday but 6 out of the 12 Larges I ordered are not back stitched. I am going to go check my small ones and will come back in a few to check this tread.

Is it ok to wash them? or am I going to need to sew all the ends down like if I don't they will unravel and ruin them?

Thanks in advance to all who answer!

And 2 of my smalls are like this too...anybody.?.?

Update!:
I just spoke to Karen all I wanted to know is if I needed to fix them. She told me yes but she is also going to send out replacement ones!! I can't believe it! so I get to keep the others and fix them plus I get new ones!! I thought I was going to have to run to the post office. She was very nice I have never spoken to her before

I got a few seconds like this (if I understand properly)

DO serge the ends before washing so they don't fully unravel! (not sure if Karen's explanation is still up but you could look)
