Soft Circuit Embroidery
Craft Demos , Saturday 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Becky will show an introductory tutorial for working with conductive thread to make a circuit on fabric. Using traditional embroidery techniques with modern electronic components, she will demo the creation of a simple soft switch circuit that will light up a sewn LED with a watch battery.
