Default Piecing frustration - how can I avoid it?

Hi everyone,
I wondered if anyone else experiences this -

I have been working on a new quilt top that has a lot of seams and I tried to double- up on some of the process.

I cut long strips, sewed them together, then cut the length that I needed of the pairs.

The problem is that once I cut the two-piece sections, the seam is open at the cut - so there's no backstitching on the pieces.

Then, when I go to sew them to the next piece, the open seam then is really open and I have to re-sew it.
frustrating!

I'm sorry if that is confusing -


I can't figure out how to post a photo yet....
