I used it once in a quilt and was told to use a very lightweight iron on interfacing on the back. It has been a while, but I don't remember using a different needle or that it snagged. You might try it on a scrap and see if it would work for your project. You could also "frame" the edges with the interfacing so that you could pin and keep the fraying down.
Have you tried glue on the edges instead of using pins? They have the Elmer's glue that comes in a small liquid tube. Or the strips of double face iron on (like stitch witchery)? Not sure what you are making, but if there is a will, there is a way! You just have to investigate what is out there and what will work for you. Good luck.
