I have used sticky labels to do this, but I like the idea of painters tape much better (and cheaper). Good idea!

Another great use for painter's tape. Although I use a 1/4" tape for this same purpose, it seems that painter's tape might be better because it is wider. I'm going to try it.

Pants for Real People's Marta Alto suggests using 1/2 magic tape (hard to find this width--Staples has it) as a guide for zippers in general. It's really great for getting a straight line right where you want it and would have less of a grip on fabric. I don't think it would have the stabilizing effect you are talking about, but it's still handy. Thanks for your idea!

I cut small circles of painter's tape to use to mark darts on black & densely-printed fabric that was semi-sheer. The dots fell off within one minute. I was very disappointed the tape didn't stick. There are a lot of markings needed, and chalk is very difficult to see on this fabric. I had to tailor tack most of it.
