Work with thread (3)
I believe the answer is:
sew
'work with thread' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for sew that I've seen before include "Make stitches" , "Do some needlework" , "Fasten with stitches" , "Work with needle and thread" , "Use a needle and thread" .)
