You can do it.
see this
Bézier Curve -- from Wolfram MathWorld
Quote:
A desirable property of these curves is that the curve can be translated and rotated by performing these operations on the control points.

Undesirable properties of Bézier curves are their numerical instability for large numbers of control points, and the fact that moving a single control point changes the global shape of the curve. The former is sometimes avoided by smoothly patching together low-order Bézier curves.
