My purse was finished by Pinnell Custom Leather in Crozet, Virginia. The size of these canvases *already includes any extra rows* that would be needed for the leather finish done here. You'll see that the pattern breaks in some spots at the outer edges--this is to make your stitching easier and more stable in areas that will be covered in the finishing process. The break in the pattern in the red section of the flap is to include your initials—see detail image.
I used vintage Paternayan for stitching my purse (and didn't track the numbers--yikes!).
