Hemmer feet

After reading the directions for my little dress on hemming, I was ready to serge it and forget it.  LOL  The pattern would have me press (all three yards!) a 1-1/4 inch hem all the way around, unfold it and running a basting stitch 1/4 inch in, slightly ease it, then fold the hem up and finish it.

I don’t believe I possess that much patience.  That’s the same reason I don’t do hand applique.  On the sewing group that is working on the dress sew along, it was suggested that if I owned a hemmer foot, I go that route.

I just so happen to have two!  The Bernina #63 and #66 hemmer feet.  The #66 foot is more applicable to my project, in both fabric type and the finished hem width.  The #63 foot however, is for curved hems.   Which should I attempt to use?

Any tips would be much appreciated.  After I tackle the hem (if I manage it well enough) I’ll go back and redo the dratted zipper.
