Re: What sewing detail do you find the most difficult?

I often have trouble getting the neckline edges to match when I have a center back zipper, like on a dress or top without a collar. The problem occurs when I apply the facing after the zipper is in. There is always a lump where the hook and eye should be placed, and the neck edges on left and right are not aligned. I've been sewing for a long time, think I know how to trim and clip, and have tried just about everything I can think of to mark stitching lines - but still, this plagues me every time. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
