I am a seamstress at a bridal shop. I pin satin about every 3 inches. A walking foot will help if you have one. I have a Pfaff with IDT. Use a sharp needle. I don't like to use any kind of glue because I don't like the stiffness of it. Be sure to use a seam finish of some kind. I prefer a serger for the edges. Satin is not that hard to work with if you pin close enough and sew carefully.
