Any pattern can be used for hand sewing as well as machine. You just have to pay attention to seam allowance on both. As all the patterns are geared for 1/4" seams. There is some wonderful 1/4" tape out there that I used for the times I have pieced blocks by hand. Its wonderful and makes things so much easier to sew a straight line. I have trouble making straight lines even on sewing machine, you can imagine what my seams looked like by hand and nothing to guide me, yup you guessed it. So this stuff is wonderful and you can use a piece over and over again. It looks like masking tape, you will find it in any fabric store. But if you can't afford the tape, mark your seams by hand as you would for any piecing. Hope this helps.
