So, when tying the oboe reed with thread, do I really need to make it all the way up to the edge of where the staple ends and cane continues, or can I stop a millimeter or so before the staple ends?

I use 46 mm staples. European scrape. So can I tie to 45 mm or so? Or does it need to be at the 46 mm mark without going over?
