I thought the question was how to prevent the dreaded "V" in a cut strip. I can cut a strip from fabric folded on the bias and not have a "V" at the fold. The strip is perfectly straight, but not on the straight-of-grain.
If the question had been how to cut a strip on the straight-of-grain, my answer would have been different.
