 Then pull on the threads to start gathering the fabric and freeing more
 thread, and resume running, starting with the first thread.
 
+.. tip:: if one of the threads break, you can leave as long a tail as
+   you can, tie a new one to it and keep and continue working with it.
 
+   If more than one thread breaks, or a thread breaks in multiple
+   places, I'd recommend starting from scratch with a stronger thread.

+Right sides together, pin the waistband to the skirt in the places you
+have marked before, arranging the pleats so that they are distributed
+evenly, but don't fasten off the threads at the ends yet.
+
+Using again the strong thread, sew the waistband to the skirt with a
+whipstitch, catching each pleat twice for additional strenght.
