I wouldn't use double faced tape near the needle as your quilt could stick long enough to the tape to cause a pucker. I use the vinyl and tape it onto my sewing table in front of the machine and farther back on the table my quilt slides onto. I use different sizes of vinyl depending on how big the project. I also have purchased the different thickness' of vinyl and so far any of them are working for me. Also I use packaging tape which comes off only when I lift it off. Tried the blue painters tape and that gave way so now will just use the pkg. tape. Hope this helps.
Good Luck
