Thinking about this a bit more, I think it would be better to hand stitch the center into the border rather than zigzag it. I think you will have better control. I would tack the corners, then the centers, then the rest of the seam. Don't know if you have access to a work area that large, but I would try to keep your work flat on a table the entire time.
