my actual question is: when you cut fabric for the stems/vines do I trace the stems on the fabric and cut accordingly or can I just cut it straight WOF/length and bend it accordingly to the stems outlines and stitch it?
sorry if this sounds as a silly question.

Leena, you can't just cut it straight w/o/f because it will not curve, I suggest you make the bias stems I detailed in the instructions. Bias will curve, here is a link to a video as to how to make it.
