A fabric cover marking device is for marking the location on a fabric cover for a female fastener portion engageable with a complementary male fastener portion mounted on a structure to be covered, for example a boat. The device comprises a socket portion and a pin portion. The socket portion is releasably engageable with the male fastener portion. The pin portion is mounted on the socket portion and is capable of piercing the fabric cover when the socket portion is engaged with the male fastener portion. Embodiments for releasable engagement with snap studs, lift-a-dot fastener studs, and turnbuckles are disclosed. The method for manufacturing a fabric cover for covering a structure having mounted thereon a plurality of male fastener portions to which the cover is to be fastened comprises the steps of securing onto each of the male fastener portions a marking device comprising a socket portion complementary to the male fastener portion and having a pin portion mounted thereon, disposing a fabric cover over the structure and over the marking devices secured to the male fastener portions, piercing the fabric cover with the pin portions of the of the marking device secured to the male fastener portions, marking the fabric cover at each of the locations where the fabric cover was pierced by one of the pin portions, and securing a female fastener portion to the fabric cover at each marked position.
