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>
