Are you having trouble with bunching on one layer of fabric and not the other? If so, you need to put a stay stitch on the side that bunches first along the stitch line, or if you aren't super accurate, put the stay stitch 1/16" closer to the cut edge. (If you are having a really bad time with bunching you will also need to clip the non bunching side in the deepest part of the curve) Make sure the stay stitch is a long stitch and loose tension. Then pull up the bobbin thread ever so slightly to make it fit with the side of fabric that isn't bunching (but don't pull so much that the side of the fabric actually gets puckers). Distribute the ease and pin in place (put the pins in perpendicular to the stitch line) and don't take the pins out until after you have stitched past them. This is the same technique you would use to set in a sleeve (when you put in a sleeve after you have sewn in the shoulder and side seams. Nowadays the cheap ie easy way to put in a sleeve is sew the shoulder, then the armhole, then the side seam/underarm. I say ick to that method.) Hope that helps.
