You mean your cut strips have the "V" in them? Or that your bias tape isn't even?
I have never basted bias tape I have made with the Clover tips, but then the pre-starching I do before cutting the strips tends to keep the ironed folds in place. I honestly don't see a reason to baste bias strips except maybe to hand-baste flowers stems to the background, and then you would be basting through both the tape and the background at the same time.
