Dear Fiveda,

Corduroy can be sewn the same as velvet. First, make sure that you've
cut all the pieces in the same direction. It's very obvious is they
aren't, as the pile catches light differently. For sewing, press the
two layers together, and rub them tightly together. This will cause
the pile to lock together, no pins needed. In fact, pins will cause
you grief. After you lock the layers together, hold the bottom of the
layers together, and keep lifting your work as you sew, so that the
layers will ease together. If they begin to slip, about half way down
the seam, take the work out of the machine and turn it around, and sew
from the opposite direction. The rubbing of the layers together is the
trick.

I often find a walking or even feed foot helps too.
