stiches inside or outside fillet

Hi,

I'm a newbie to boatbuilding and I want to build a dinghy for a start.
I have stiched together the first two sheets and now I want to put
fillet to glue them together. The thing I'm not sure about is if it is
important that the stitches don't get covered by the fillet.

Or should the stiches get fully covered with the fillet? What is best?
I have researched a lot but have not managed to get a clear indication.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Markus

Construction details vary: when I designed and built a pram dinghy,
from dim recollections of how the RAF SAR crew built one outside the
boathouse at RAF Gibraltar long before, I had cut cardboard chines for
an inch per foot model to get the panels looking half way sensible,
then from drilled holes, stitched the scaled up chines with copper
wire. I taped the outside seam with glass, then clipped the twist off
the stitches on the inside and taped that too.
