When I am cutting from a template that does not have the seam allowance on it, am i adding the seam allowance by adding 1/4" line on the outside of the template and cutting from that line, or going backwards and marking a line inside the template and cutting from the template border.... i'm confused about it.:?

One easy and accurate way to accomplish this is to tape yout template to the top of your ruler, leaving 1/4" from the edge where you will be cutting. I use this method when doing lots of the same shape. I'm not sure if it is worth the time if you are just making one block.
