can I hand piece batiks?
I had to fly to europe from US, to see my sick Mom, in a hurry. I took with me partly pieced batik quilt, strips are sewn together, now I have to cut them up and piece again. I do not have sewing machine available here, and I also want to sit by my Mom. My question is, should I continue piecing by hand? I know batiks might be hard to sew by hand but will it look ok, will the stitching be strong enough, and if so, how should I stitch it?
