    Put a metal stop to prevent the zipper pull from sliding off. Or make some stitches at the end of the zipper so that the zipper pull does not move out.

    For separating zippers, you can clip the first stop at the top of the zipper, and for non-separating zippers, you can remove the metal stop at the bottom of the zipper and take out the zipper pull.
