Yes, I use starters and enders. They save me a lot of thread and if my machine decides to act goofy, it saves my fabric. I had never heard of them until I was in a class that was taught by my local quilting store owner. She asked were my "thread bunny" was. I just looked at her...duh? She said that she had dust bunnies under her bed, so she used a small piece of fabric at the beginning of sewing and end so that she wouldn't have to clean up by her sewing machine. So, yes, I use my thread bunny for sewing. Hugs
