@valhalla The issue I found is keep the piping tight. It takes forcing the zipper foot right up against the piping, as tight as I can manage. I have to pull the fabric against the foot edge, and the seams guide gets on the way. Pinning keeps things neat.There are piping feet that force the piping up againstthe stitch line, but I don't have one.

@valhalla I am out of town one weekend and have a kid's b-day to plan!So life intercedes. But I can do a lot of hand work during meeting working from home. As long as I can get the bodice fit and assembled this week i should be good.
