Invisible zipper in suede cloth

Correct needle for the fabric (knit or woven? or non-woven?) and washaway stabilizer or paper above and below the seam would be my first tries.

Are you hand basting it carefully before attempting to machine stitch it? Since faux suede has a nap, it would rend to creep unless very well anchored with short basting stitches, along the entire length of the zipper.

I used a Teflon zip foot as well as hand basting when I did one in faux suede... Worked out nicely, but you do need to take that extra bit of care. (NOT an FTL sewing job, Beverly! ;) )

^^^^^^

Aaack, I meant to write "tend" not "rend". I don't know why they put the "r" right next to the "t". ;-}

Indeed, one of those special situations which *requires* the extra care and time to baste properly.
