I have done this successfully on 6 circle skirts. What I use is fishing line. When you pull it off the spool it lays in curls; these curls are what causes the hem to "ruffle." I set my serger up to do a rolled hem then feed the line in so that the line goes under the pressure foot into the serging threads. Then it is a matter of serging the ends and carefully feeding the line on top making sure that it stays out from under the cutting blade. You need to leave at least 6 inches of line on either end of the hem because the final step is to pull the hem taught over the line. Which is what makes the hem stand out and curl. Then I glue the corners to prevent the fishing line from working it's way out. Make sense?
