When you are inserting zips in cushions it is quite easy if you do the following:
If your zip if 14" wide and your cushion is 16" wide sew an inch each side. Then tack using the machine the whole way down. Press. Place your zipper on to the tacked seam tack it by hand in place and then machine. On the right side carefully snip the tacking thread covering the zip. Hey presto one perfect zip!

The other thing you can do is tissue pocket holders. They are very simple to do and if you google it you will get the pattern online. Hopefully I've helped. Good luck.
