Default Wonder Under Fusible for Applique

Good morning!
I am working on a wall hanging project of my own design. It is a floral and I have used Wonder Under to fuse tiny pieces to a backing fabric for the centre of the flower. In your experience, is the fusible adequate to hold the pieces, without stitching them down to the background of the centre piece? Secondly, and I was planning on testing this, but maybe someone has already tried it, I put wonder Under on the backside of the background as well, thinking to fuse it later to the quilt top. However if I need or decide to do topstitching over the fused pieces, I suspect at this point it would be too sticky to do that without being fused to another fabric. Agreed? My subsequent thought is to apply a very lightweight fusible Pellon interfacing to cover the fusible sticky so I could sew the appliqué down prior to putting it on the quilt.

This has been a wall hanging of trial and error, hence my predicament :-).
