It's not a stupid question...and the answer is that you can;t see the drawing, which is why I just have the picture/pattern to the side and eyeball the layout. As the previous poster said, always work from the bottom/back to the front/top.
Let the applique cool before peeling it up and you'll leave less glue on the sheet. Also, when the pressing sheet is cool, check with your hand for any left over glue and wipe it off with a paper towel or fabric scrap before using it again.
You can also scrap off the excess glue with an old credit card. Just hold it at an angle and scrap across the surface and that old glue peels right off.
