With any finisher, talk in detail with them about what you want ahead of time and get a quote for that style and an idea of the timeline first. Often shops that offer finishing services will have samples of trim and pillow backing fabrics for you to choose from. Make sure you ask the shop or finisher whether you can send them the backing fabric you want and if there is any requirement about belt edging stitches, whether they want a row(s) of tent around an ornament or pillow, etc.? The more specifics you give them, the better the result will be.
Remember that in 2020 everyone has been at home stitching like crazy since March, so finishing is going to take much longer than in past years. The Christmas deadlines will have past for most finishing by the time I get this posted.
If you know of a finisher or a shop with great finishing, let me know so I can add them to the list. Just email me at chillyhollow@hotmail.com. Thank you.

The shop also finishes fobs I think; note that they charge less if you buy the belt canvas from them. They also have a hobby belt designer in-house.
