Take a stitch thru pattern and fabric at the dot on the paper pattern make a second stitch but leave a loop about 1 1/2 inches on top cut the thread even with apex of loop. Carefully cut the apex of the loop and remove the paper pattern. Gently pull the fabric pieces apart being careful not to lose the thread. Snip between the two pieces of fabric leaving equal amounts of thread on each piece and Voila!! you have a tailor's tack marking your cut out fabric. Hope this helps.
