That is what I do. It really save time and if you don't clip the thread when pressing you will always have them in order as you sew the 2's together. I usually cut the top one from the stip, put it near the presser foot and match up with the next first on on the strip and take a few stitches and then cut that one from the strip. You cut that one so the rest of the ones won't be pulling the work off you 1/4 inch seam guide. I lay my chain strip on my lap as I do this and then I know which one to clip to start piecing another set.
