I only use one. There should always be one under the needle when I start anything. Then when I have the first seam started, I snip off the starter, lay it aside, and continue chain stitching. When I'm finished with that section of chain stitching, sometimes I can find the next group to chain stitch. If not, the starter now becomes an ender, and stays under the needle until the next group of chain stitching.
