Not sure about the wonder under, but I did see a technique which used gathering stitches on each side of the stem to gently ease the curve. Seems like wonder under might stiffen the stem.

Usually you cut a strip on the bias, sew a scant seam and the turn it inside out and press the seam so it is underneath. I have never used wonder under or any fusible when I do vines for applique.

I tried basting bias tape stems with Elmer's school glue, then sewing them down by hand and machine. One of these methods might work better than wonder under with the bias tape?

I used Under Wonder on this sea grass and was very happy with it. I fused the WU to a rectangle of sea grass fabric, then drew the curvy shapes, cut them out, fused, and zigzagged around the edges.
