A zipper foot only gives stability on one side, not the best way to maintain a precision edge even if you're sewing with the foot to the right (on the seam allowance). I use an open toe embroidery foot and shift the needle to get what I need with visibility, stability, and accuracy. Good luck to you.
I rechecked my cuts. That looks fine. I cover the fabric with the cutting line.
Thread could be an issue. Perhaps with a thinner thread it would help just enough.
I don't like using the zipper foot for the reason you said. But I tried every foot till I got one that was allowing for the seam I needed. Along with a magnetic guide right up against the feed dogs.
I'll look and see if I have the embroider foot you mentioned. Do you mean the round one?
Always get good advice on here.
