The suggestions so far are fine for solving the problem, but I can't resist pointing out that instead of a scrap for your enders, you can keep a supply of little squares next to you and use those stitches to join them into quilt blocks for other projects. This is not my idea, of course. Got it from Bonnie Hunter:
