Hello Miriam and everyone How perfectly frustrating about the thread splitting and difficulty with sewings . Others have mentioned magic threads but I think in the context of putting them in ahead of time (thus this rainbow of colours to keep them organized). Using a short length of sturdier thread to loop t;hrough where you want the join, or to loop the main thread to act as the catch for the hook when doing the sewing will likely help. Try different ways to suit you and the pattern. Remove this thread of course, and use again indefinitely.
