Most likely. Most overlockers can make a rolled hem. You will probably want to do a lot of practicing on scrap chiffon before trying it on the real thing. It involves using only one needle, both loopers, and making appropriate adjustments to the machine.
Make sure you are threading the machine correctly. Make sure you are using serger thread that isn't old. Make sure you are undoing all the threads when it breaks and thread it from the beginning.
Make sure you have the right needles in their respective places. My Juki MO has two different size needles.
You need a BLx1 type needle for the Baby Lock EA605. This is a different type of needle than on most other sergers (even other BabyLocks). The only Jukis that use this needle are MO-102, MO-103, MO-104 & MO-134. I'd guess your Juki is not in that list.
How to Thread Juki MO-134 Serger from watching lady at Lyles.
Turn upper blade up. Push in first then turn up.It makes threading easier.
Blue Thread upper looper first.
Pull thread through tension knob. Don'tjust lay it there. (She thought that is what I must have done)
Orange Thread lower looper next.
Pull thread through tension knob as inthreading upper looper.
Adjust lower looper so it is right nextto upper looper so that their points are almost together and directly belowsewing needles. Lower looper will be in front of upper looper (I believe).
With tread from upper looper pulledback, slightly lift lower looper above upper looper and thread. I think this isright.
Pull thread back with other thread.
Tension is the key. Remember that.
Yellow: Thread left needle first.Remember tension. Pull thread through curled wire on left side of needle arm.
Green: Thread right needle. Rememberabout tension. Pull thread through curled wire on right side of needle arm.

Note: Before sewing turn the wheel tomake sure the stitches are going together correctly.
With some sergers, but not many (singer 14u64 comes to mind), the top of the stitch will be an overedge that mates with the right needle thread, and the left needle thread will appear as a separate straight stitch. When you look at the underside of the stitch, the overedge will go all the way over to the left needle (the full width of the stitch). This is normal if you have this type of machine. Another stitch some sergers do (2/4 thread sergers) is a 2 thread chain thal looks like a lone straight stitch on both sides, and a 2 thread separate overedge.
As far as the threading of the takeup, it totally depends on your model. Always post your model number when you have questions as sergers vary greatly in design.
