If you are familiar with chain stitching, putting on an ender is just like adding another piece. You can keep sewing to the other end of that seam and then add another pair of pieces to make the next seam. No tangling.
I don't usually sew all the way across my ender. I just pull my last-sewn piece away a bit, start in the middle of a folded scrap and make three or four stitches. Then I pull the thread out an inch or so, put in the next pair and keep going.
