It's possible the different fiber content contributes to the 
problem, but not sewing the edges almost guarantees failure. 
You may be trying to do the impossible.

As for fiddly bits, one of the contributors to alt.sewing 
makes fabulous designs and appliqués them for her daughter. 
Here is a URL to some of her pics of a very complicated 
appliqué project:

So, it *can* be  done, but you really need to stitch around 
the edges if you want it to last.  <shrug>
