Border stitch that is on uniform - PURLIEU

I know that PURLIEU is the 'BORDER' of a forest but can't fathom the rest.

Check places in advance for political revolt

PUTSCH (political revolt) but 'check places in advance'?

No, I'm sure they're right. I was thinking 'sites' for 'places' but it was being used as a verb and synonym for 'put'. I've heard of a stitch called a 'purl' but had no idea it was spelled that way.
