No the stops have 4 sharp prongs on the back side. You just push them down over the last teeth where you want the stop through the fabric and I just bend the prongs down with the side of a screwdriver. You dont need a ton of ribbon after if at all so cut where you need it to end and just pull out a few teeth by prying them off. They are also basically press fit. If you leave alot of ribbon and its at a curve or turn it tends to bunch and create an unsightly gap. Since you installed the stop you can get away with just a mall amount of ribbon.

It's not as thick. It's more like a thin layer of contact cement on wax paper.  There isn't actually tape or fibers in it. So, it's very thin when applied. I don't think it works as well as cement, but it will hold long enough to stitch a line. 

A problem I have found with using double sided tape is that if you end up stitching through it then you can gum up your needles
