[Maya] UV shell fragmented

FleshPuzzle

Hello everyone,

I've been doing UV maps without problems until this particular one just fragmented parts of it and flew everywhere. I've frozen and deleted the history, deleted the UV and started again, used planar and normalize, tried to sew and it just refuses to work out. I'm a beginner at the program (in fact this is homework and I have a deadline for monday morning...) and googling it hasn't been much help, I'm completely lost. I'd appreciate if anyone here could point me in the right direction. Thank you very much in advance!

see if the mesh is actually welded on those area.

I'm not sure if it's what you meant with welding, but I think I've worked it out by uh... Deleting the troubled faces and redoing them with Append Polygon, after doing so they're right in place. Even if it wasn't what you meant it did give me the idea to do so, so either way thank you so much!!!
