You could also just press it under the 1/4 inch, cut and then sew, but if you are not used to doing this the stitching method might be easier.
I would do the above, serge, or use hem lace or hem binding--Georgette is the stuff of nightmares if you are not used to working with it. I have sewn what seems like a million miles of the slippery stuff.

Use the cut-off to practice---you will not regret the extra time!
