Question Making a Template: Questions

Morning All on this lovely snowy morning!

I have a few questions regarding making plastic templates:

1) What is the best ink to transfer the pattern onto the plastic?

2) For fusible applique, do you add 1/4" around the drawn line?

3) Do you need to reverse the image on the template (i.e. draw it backwards)?

4) Cut on, outside or through the drawn line? (See #2 - this probably answers this question, too)

I am planning on making a Sunbonnet Sue quilt, but have never worked with plastic templates.

Thank you in advance for the help. It is greatly appreciated as I am a novice appliquer.
