A fusible featherweight interfacing adds body to the silk and will allow it to behave more like quilting cotton. It will also eliminate fraying so piecing will go better. Don't know what weight of SaS you used, but my guess is it was too heavy for silk. Also the adhesive is just temporary until you iron it so it may delaminate from the silk. Normally garment construction knowledge isn't necessary for quilting, but this might be one area that it helps.
