Keeping "joined' fabric in place during infusion

I'm looking to make carbon fibre body parts, using the blue carbon weave, where there is a direction of the weave based off the centre line of the car. So looking from the front at say the bonnet, the right side has its weave head up to the right, and the left off to the left. I've seen the odd thread on how to cut the weave to have a clean finish, so the next hard part is lining up the blue and black of the weave in the right directions, something I'm thinking will take a fair bit of practice, and many many expletives. My next area of concern, is keeping the two parts joined in the middle, and not moving while the infusion process is taking place. Now I haven't seen this done first hand, only the YouTube vids, so unsure of the amount of vacuum pressure felt on the fabric, and if there is enough to actually move it out of alignment, or even separate the two pieces. The final product would have the blue carbon on the surface layer, 'normal' black carbon layers, maybe kevlar-carbon for additional strength. Thoughts? Would this even be an issue, or should I use a tape of sorts down the centreline between the surface and 2nd layer to stop things from moving?
