Lasercut Stretchy Conductive Fabric Traces

Step 3Ironing on the traces

Ironing on the traces
I use a mini iron (a quilter's iron for patches and applique stuff) to iron on the traces because I'm clumsy. But you can use a regular clothing iron too.

Mark where you want your traces beforehand (with tape or pencil) so that you can be sure you don't have any overlap. If you need to cross traces, iron on one trace first, and sandwich with a small piece of heavy non-conductive fabric so that the fabric doesn't touch.

Peel the paper backing off the traces and iron them on. Keep at least 1.5 cm of spacing between ground and signal traces.
