If you are hand piecing is it possible to strip piece? When cutting the strips for the unit the stitches come lose. What suggestions do you have.
You are correct, the stitches would come out. You would really need to cut each piece the size you need for the individual patch.
This would not prevent you from replacing patches with strips, however. You would cut the strips for each individual patch the size that would fit in the patch, and then hand stitch them together.
