I remember seeing on one of the old Fons & Porter Quilt shows... Marianne suggested you alternate sewing from opposite ends when strip sewing. This helps keep the strips from getting curvy. I have tried this and I too, recommend doing it this way. Also starching fabric before cutting the strips helps control them.
