On the outside of the skirt following the hemline machine sew a zig zag stitch over the 6 ply conductive thread.
One positive trace.
One negative trace.
Sew parallel lines close enough to connect your LED sequins but, do not let the two traces touch or overlap.

Using a multimeter test for short circuits and resistance.

Once you are confident that the traces are sewn in the correct locations and have passed the multimeter test use the satin stitch sew over the conductive thread again.  This is not necessary however it serves as a decorative element as well as protecting the conductive thread from the elements and possible sort circuits.
