Satin can seem scary because it's smooth. But smooth isn't scary or "difficult", it just requires a little more calm, time, precision and a few good tips.
What many find challenging comes right at the beginning; cutting out the pattern pieces. You can do it as simple as placing the seam allowance along the edge of a table, but the fabric can still move around easily. The best thing you can do is stabilize the fabric with paper. For example, you can use thin pattern paper or similar, and place it underneath. Then you place the fabric on top and pin it in place while the seam allowance is edge to edge with the paper. Pin all around to keep it stable. If you want to be extra sure, you can put a layer of paper on top as well, but one layer underneath is often sufficient. Then place the pattern pieces on top, use lots of pins and pin carefully. It is best to use extra thin and new/sharp pins so that they don't pull threads out of the fabric. Also, make sure to pin only in the seam allowance. Cut carefully and calmly with scissors, and this will work just fine. And yes, you will be cutting through both paper and fabric (you can sharpen the scissors with a scissors sharpener afterwards).
Before you start sewing, take a small piece of fabric and find the right settings such as thread tension and stitch size. You may also want to use a microtex needle to avoid pulling out threads in delicate fabrics such as satin.
Now that you are going to sew the fabric, you can put some thin paper under the start of the fabric and sew with it so that it is not "eaten" by your sewing machine, if it is delicate or thin. You remove the paper carefully afterwards. You can also have a "straight stitch plate" on the machine if there is one for your machine, then there is a smaller hole and less chance of the fabric being pulled in. Otherwise, keep a close eye while you sew so that things do not slip away.
Good luck!
