    From what you describe they sound like basting stitches which should be removed, BUT don't remove them until we are sure that is what you are referring to. Can you post a picture?

    If the thread looks like the one in this thread then follow the instructions. If not, post a pic for advice.

    The basting thread isn't always white though, not over here anyway.

    I've had it white on my blackwatch and black on my baird kilts.
