In reply to Grateful.

The granddaughter MAY stay with her grandfather if she were to be alone (without her friends) with her grandfather*, but she is not a good enough to be a Shomer for her friend/s without the right amount of people.

“But, if there’s a women together with his daughter or granddaughter – it’s forbidden. Similarly, if a man is traveling with his daughter on the road and there is another man – it’s forbidden.”
(See Pischei Teshuvah, Even Ho’ezer 22:2).

*There are opinions that say that grandfather/granddaughter and grandmother/grandson can’t be in a Yichud situation (see Pischei Teshuvah, Even Ho’ezer 21:5).

Question:
Regarding the amount of stiches of a Sefer Torah seam,
A small Sefer Torah, for instance, the small Rebbe’s Sefer Torah would also need minimum of 10 stiches ?
I’m imagining Moshiach’s Sefer Torah having much much more.
Correct?

Regarding Yichud.
Reb Berel Baumgarten, my father, taught me that 3 men are needed. For nighttime. Amount of girls wasn’t the subject.
Doesn’t it speak about this issue in the Talmud? Tractate Sota.

The psak on yichud shows me tht it’s no difference that one of the girls is a granddaughter or not. Am I right. Does that mean thst the granddaughter also cannot stay with grandpa even without friends
