People would understand what you mean, but it sounds less natural. I'm not sure I've heard a native speaker say it that way.
Interestingly, you can say "I don't suppose" as an indirect way to ask something. For example, if you're telling someone you're going to lunch, "I don't suppose you'd care to join me?" is a polite and slightly old-fashioned way of inviting them to go with you.
