Just lay tape down on the fabric in one piece - you don't want to re-position it because of the stretch. The tape will help keep your edge from stretching and if you sew with a short stitch it should be fine.
The crises has been averted, but I may have another solution for anyone else who might run up against this problem. You might put a thin strip of stabilizer near the edge. Use the kind you can sew through and it can stay in there and won't be seen.
