Is it what we call a 'magic thread' used at places where you know a sewing will 
be needed?

It's a  loop of thread placed under a thread, then when you get back there to  
make the sewing push the bobbin through the loop and pull until the bobbin 
thread is looped enough to pass the partner bobbin through, remove the magic 
thread and complete the sewing.
