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.
