I have discovered a simple yet effective method to accurately set an invisible zipper without basting. Serge the seam edges using a 1/8-inch wide, three-thread overlock stitch. Then, align the zipper tape edge with the inside serged edge. The tape rests against the slightly raised serging without slipping and results in a perfect 5/8-inch seam allowance when inserted using an invisible zipper foot.
