Default what's your best advice to beginner for keeping 1/4" seam consistent?

Helped teach the first beginner class in series of 7 today--first with machine and while last week (cutting, pressing, color/value etc class) they were told how to find the 1/4" seam with their two 2.5" squares and given that homework, it always seems that we have beginners that struggle to keep a consistent 1/4" on their strip sets for first block (railfence).

So my question to you--what do you use to keep a consistent 1/4" seam that a beginner would find helpful? Keep in mind that we are talking many different machine types and much difference in sewing abilities. Thanks!
