I am not sure how to describe how I press. I press the side of the seam to lock the stitches and the I carefully press the side of the seam to whatever direction I wish it to do. I do the opposite of what everyone else is saying because I press strip sets with Bargello after I have stitched them all. But if you get your stitches press, it will lock them into the fabric and you might not have as much of a problem. Never heard of a strip stitch!! I use to watch SIMPLY QUILTS to be informed of new products but that show was cancelled many years ago.

I sew 2 strips together, and press them, then add the 3rd strip and press that seam. Much easier than sewing all 3, and then pressing. I also like to "set" the seam by pressing while the fabrics are still right sides together, and pressing on the fabric that the seam will be pressed towards.

I'm with AudreyB. I use the edge of the ironing board for a strip stick.
