Conductive Thread Pressure Sensor

Step 3 Prepare your materials

Trace your stencil onto the neoprene twice and cut both out. And trace the stencil once onto the Velostat, but cut out the shape from the Velostat 2-3 mm smaller than the stencil and don't include the tabs.

Cut two small pieces of conductive fabric the size of your tabs or slightly smaller and iron these on to the neoprene with the fusible.

Mark with a fabric pen or a permanent marker where you will be stitching with the conductive thread. Make sure the markings on each side are identical so that when you lay both sides on top of each other the identical stitches are sure to cross each other in an X like manor and not match up. This way each two stitches will be sure to cross each other and make direct contact in only one point.
