you can change the pins to maskingtape if you have some handy

Huge thanks to Monika for posting that picture. You really do need a zip quite a bit longer than you might think, especially until you have done a few! If your zip is shorter, it is difficult to keep the metal pull far enough out of the way. At the opposite end, the same is true for the metal stop.
Hope you keep trying - it is worth the effort!
