I do it by hand. Tho I have done it by machine and it just takes a second to do. When doing it by machine I just sew about 4 or 5 stitches across the seam. Just enough to catch it. When I have had trouble getting the seams to line up when tacking I have done it on the machine so I can see if it is lined up right after being sewn. It doesn't take much to take back out 3 -5 stitches and it can help to get those seams lined up right. Once in awhile I get one that shifts as I am placing the seams together and it frustrates me. So I sew in the machine so I can see if they are right or not.
When tacking you can also open it and see if the seams are lined up right but you can't do that with pins.
