Some things to considerPositive and Negative threads should never touch.
The distance between the light source and the battery should not be too long.
Conductive threads have surface resistivity. Surface resistivity is the resistance of a material to the flow of electrical current between opposite sides of its surface. You want conductive threads and textiles with low surface resistivity. Surface resistivity is typically measured in ohms per square.
Conductive thread is not shielded or coated. It can ‘leak’and weaken the electrical current.

Sewing A Battery
Use pliers to remove the leads on the back of the battery holder
Thread the needle up through the hole under the positive contact.
Loop the thread around the positive connector 2 times
Thread the needle back through the hole and secure to material.
Sewing the Positive Contact

Sewing A BatterySewing the Negative Contact
Thread the needle up through one of the slits at the negative contact
Loop the thread around the negative contact 2 times
Thread the needle back through one of the slits and secure to material

Design Brief3 LEDs
1 x power supply and holder
2 meters of conductive thread
Selection of coloured threads
1 x Garment or piece of fabric
Make something awesome!
![Page 23: ThreadTech1: Fashion Meets Technology Slides](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/5489d1eab47959e70c8b5a96/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Consider this...Where is the battery going to be situated on the garment?
Remember to think about which stitch lines are your positive and negative charge.
Positive and negative threads should never touch
Do you want your conductive thread stitching to be visible? If not what is your solution? A patch of material on the inside of the garment?
