Default Needle holes left in batiks

I am trying to salvage every bit of the batiks that my church group of quilters were given by a major fabric manufacturer. I call these pieces of fabrics "enders" because this is where a piece of fabric is sewn to another I assume during the printing process. I am not that familiar with batiks so this is all a new experience for me. I have probably around 30 to 50 of these pieces that were cut off when the fabric was being folded onto the bolts. What is the best water temperature I should use to try to shrink these needle holes?? Do I need to worry about color migrations?? If I have missed asking any questions, please feel free to add that to your thread. THANKS AGAIN!!
