How do you tack your stitches on machines w/o reverse and stitch tackers?

On my singer 15-91 and my singer 201 if you put the stitch lever at the very top part of the numbers it puts the needle in neutral and if you sew with it in that position it only makes stitches in the same place. If your machine doesn't have the back tack mechanism then i don't know if it has the neutral position or not. Both of my machines have the back tack option and therefore the neutral position
