I had the same problem and found it was somewhat better when I bought very fine pins. I stuck a pin straight down (not on an angle) through one fabric's ideal spot and then straight down through the other one. Then carefully bring the pin up to secure it. This kept the pieces from shifting.
Also, I'd use a very long basting stitch to sew about a two-inch seam at the center (i.e., not all the way across the block) ...checked it out and if okay, sewed the whole seam with a regular length stitch. After a while it seemed to get easier and I could even omit the basting...
Good luck with this! So far it has been my biggest challenge.
