Domestic Needlepoint Canvas Production

Open if anyone knows anything here. Seems like Zweigart has a chokehold on the market in terms of quality, and that American manufacturers either seem to lack scale, reputation, or the same quality.

Am I stupid, or does it seem like there is a market here that could benefit from another real player?

Worried about carrying thread

Hello all! Stitcher of 4-5 years here, but haven’t ventured much into complex designs (I’m just a hobbyist!). I recently painted my own eyeglass case, and may have gotten myself in too deep. The design I painted isn’t too tough, but has been causing me carry thread between flowers 0.5 - 0.75 inches. I hate how messy the back looks!

My question is; does this back seem ok? For the next side, I’m considering doing the flowers first so that I can bury the carried thread, but worried about how I will anchor those when I cast on.

Additionally, will this be an issue for the finisher?

Sorry, thank you all!
