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.
