Only if they are jump stitches.Sometimes they are meant to be there, as a stitch to join the dots.The dots should really be close enough together so you don't notice the stitch between them.Lillian is right, there should really be no stitches between the dots.

How can you tell if they are jump stiches or not?*
by mpo14011 04 Nov 2008
A jump stitch is a long stitch that goes from one colour block to another block of the same colour. In the case of the candlewick design by mooie, you will have to use your discretion. Without having stitched out the design I can't say, but I think those stitches between the dots are meant to be there.If they are not anchored then they are jump stitches. The really long ones going from the red to red, or green to green are jump stitches.

yes, IF they are jump stitches. If you are referring to the free one by our Cutie Mooie, no, it is part of her design.;)
