I know some people use a fine mesh over projects with many little pieces and do a meander type all over quilting.
As to the second part of your question, sorry can't help you there.
I have considered using some tulle to cover it, but I rather like the look without it. I’ve used heavier fusible for the petals, but it limits my options in adding stitching, so I chose the Wonder Under Pellon 805 product, which doesn’t recommend specifically to stitch down after fusing and I haven’t used it on a project that I’ve had for long enough to evaluate its adherence longevity. It does seem to fuse readily though.
