All you need is a standard ¼" foot. The left edge of the foot follows the last seam line resulting in the new seam line being exactly a quarter inch away. Instead of keeping the right edge of the foot on the raw edges of the fabric, you keep the left edge of the foot up against the last seam. Couldn't be simpler.
Flanges and piping are beautiful and I've used them several times, but they do require some thought so as not to stitch them down with machine quilting. You cannot use a panto and have an inner flange, for example.
