Freezer paper preparation for applique with points can be easy with practice. I use a Clover mini iron and would be lost without it! I try to make a consistently sized seam allowance, less than the 1/4" that comes with the DJ software.

I would say it's 3/16ths but will tell you it's somewhere between 1/8" and 1/4" and as long as it's consistent within a piece, I'm happy. My individual pieces do not always have the exact same seam allowance. I have a life---and it's not perfect.
