Stroke Sensor

Step 3 Thread needle, stitch, cut

Thread a sewing needle with the conductive thread and take it double-double, so that two strands of thread are going through the needle hole. This is a way to save time and effort since you'll be able to stitch four threads in one go. Of course you can also stitch a single thread at a time.
Start by stitching through from the front side of the neoprene where the conductive fabric is adhered to the back. Make sure the thread goes all the way through the neoprene and makes contact with the conductive fabric before coming out the front again. Then cut all four threads to roughly equal lengths - depending on sensor design - about 2-3cm.
Repeat this over and over again until both conductive fabric strips have "hairs" connected to them. See photos.
Now thread the resistive thread the same way and repeat the same technique over again but this time fill the surface area in between the two conductive thread/fabric strips. See photos.
When you are finished with this, your sensor is finished, in order to see results continue with step three. or simple use alligator clips, an LED or a multimeter or an analog to digital converter to read sensor values.
