Explanation:
Il termine da tradurre è thread through.
Filettare uno spago sarebbe un po' difficoltoso. :)

affrancare le estremità


Explanation:
Nel ricamo/uncinetto si dice affrancare o nascondere.
Ossia infilare il filo nella trama per nasconderlo, e si fa con l'ago.
Secondo me si vuol dire questo.
"Oggi vediamo insieme come affrancare i fili del lavoro, cioè come nascondere i fili che avanzano dalla lavorazione"
