Sounds like you are going about the assembly right. Are you alternating the pressing of your seams? The first row of 4 press to the left, then next, press to the right etc., regardless of the light/dark fabric placement. I think you still need to secure it before you sew. If you are having problems with pins, I'd try the glue
