Sewing Machine
A sewing machine is not required for any project, but it sure
makes things easier sometimes! Any standard sewing machine
can make straight and zigzag stitches. Thin 2-ply conductive
thread can be used in the bobbin of the machine, or plain thread
can be used to affix many strands of conductive thread to fabric
with a zigzag stitch ( Figure 1-6 ).
Figure 1-7. Use a sewing machine to zigzag over conductive
threads
Disappearing Marking Pen
Sold at craft stores in the embroidery section, a disappearing
marking pen ( Figure 1-7 ) can be handy for planning out your cir-
cuits—just dab with a moist towel and the blue ink turns clear!
On dark fabrics, you might try tailor's chalk instead, which is
shaped in a wedge for easy markmaking. Regular chalk is a valid
substitute.
