I feel like it could work but what did I do wrong? I realize it is hard to say since you couldn't see me.But I just don't get it?
Were the feed dogs up or down?

If the feed dogs were up and you didn't cut a hole in the paper around the feed dogs, and your stitch length was not set to zero, the feed dogs would have lifted the paper loose from your tape and the paper would have moved along with your fabric as you sewed.

Even if the feed dogs were down, if your stitch length was not set to zero and you had not cut a hole in the paper around the feed dogs, the weight of the quilt sandwich may have pushed the paper down close enough to the feed dogs to allow them to move the paper.
