I used 2 inch squares and put six colors together

When piecing strips, try a shorter stitch length on your machine. My machine has a double stitch. It stitches the same stitch twice one right on top of the other, I think this helps to disallow stretching. Then with a good pressing, not ironing, they seem to flatten right out. I also cut some strips on the warp and some on the weft and that seems to help too.
