loose [thread] definition and meaning

What is the origin of the idiom "make a go of something" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "loose thread" is based on the literal meaning of a thread that is not properly secured. This concept is metaphorically applied to represent an unresolved issue or problem that has the potential to create further complications or unravel a situation. The phrase draws on the understanding that if a loose thread is left unaddressed, it can cause a garment to come apart. It is commonly employed in discussions about projects, relationships, or situations that require attention and resolution.
