After I have all my strips sewn together and sewn into a tube, I then fold everything so that the cut edge will be shorter. Then, after pinning well, I make a line of sewing right down the middle with the longest stitches my machine will make. Then I can cut the strips without worrying about whether or not they will stay straight.
