Quick I need help!Update!

[loving my family]

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)

OK these are flats not prefolds and they were not seconds so I wasn't sure if the ends are like the sides with no hems needed if that makes sense ya know.?
