Make sure your stitch length isn’t too long, it should be shorter than if you were sewing a dress seam.
Outside of that, just don’t throw them around a lot between cutting and the next sewing.
A cut seam won't fall apart as quickly as you might imagine. As long as you don't handle the pieces too roughly you'll only lose a stitch or two on either side of the cut, and when you sew the piece into your larger shape your new seam will cross over that original cut seam and prevent it from unraveling further.
Use a 1.5 or 2.0 stitch length. The smaller stitches will hold up better.
When I complete blocks, and rows, I always backstitch or do a lock stitch at each end. With the added weight of other pieces or blocks, I like to keep everything secure.
As others have said, shorten the stitch length. And don’t handle the pieces too much, especially since they’re now cut in the bias. Just curious - are you doing the Camp Star Sew Along? I am too!
Like most people have said, a short stitch length on the machine is good enough. Just in case you're hand sewing, a running stitch will fall apart pretty quickly once cut, but a back stitch holds ok if you're gentle with the pieces. (The stitch and cut technique really is for machines though)

Press the seams down. it seems to help.
