Why Use Tailor Tacks?

Tailor's tacks are hand-sewn threads used to mark darts, pattern markings and to transfer details from a paper pattern on to the fabric. They are used when traditional marking methods can not be used either due to the delicacy or thickness of the fabric.

What are tailor's tacks used for?

Tailor Tacks are loose, looped, hand sewn stitches that are common in most sewing patterns. They are used for marking specific points on your fabric. For example you will see markings on dress making patterns to indicate where your darts are to be sewn or where the pockets should be placed on a garment.
