Hi Gavin,
Thank you for your contribution!
Instead of rotating or adjusting the angle of the brush to have the stitches of the purse in the right direction you could also go hit F5 goto “Shape Dynamics” > activate “Angle Jitter” and set it to “Direction” with 0% and do the stitches along the paths again. Okay the edges maybe still have to be tweaked a bit but its a bit faster that way.
