Looking closely you can see the stitching laid out on the surface of the fabric at the ribs.
One continuous braided thread is used to stitch or tie the fabric from the top surface to the bottom surface of the wing.
For every loop there is a special knot tied called a modified seine knot.
This insures that if there is ever a break in the thread that all of the stitching on that rib does not fail.
