Make a Soft Circuit
While constructing my soft circuit, I came across some problems.
First Issue: The conductive thread kept coming undone, even after knotting it.
Solution: Use Fabric-Tac glue, on the ends of the seam.
Second Issue: How to hold the coin cell battery next to the circuit.
Solution: I sewed a pouch for the battery, with a swatch of conductive fabric on each side of the pouch, and metal snaps on each side of the pouch. The snaps clipped on to the positive and negative ends of the circuit.
Third Issue: The pouch only worked occasionally, and the circuit randomly lit up.
Solution: The first pouch I made was constructed with tweed, which did not cling against the battery as much as it needed to. Next time I will use a fabric that gives more.
