An article I read earlier today mentioned too tight tension as a reason for curving strips. I know from my own experience that when that last little bit goes through the needle, I tend to rush it so my seams aren't as straight as they are at the top. Alternating seems to offset the curving problem for me since I can't seem to cure my end of the strip wobble problem.
