This is the next step up from the beginner kit.
It's designed for someone already familiar with sewing a simple series circuit.
With this, you'll create complex series and parallel circuits, and work with a tilt switch.

It contains 7 pieces:
- Conductive thread, made from thin strands of spun silver.
It's very flexible like regular thread, but also conducts electricity like a wire.
You'll use this to connect the other components.
- 2 Sequins, tiny and bright lights with crimping beads so you can stitch them easily.
They can only be connected one way: plus to brass bead, and minus to silver bead.
- Tilt switch, also with crimping beads so you can stitch it easily.
Although it can be connected either way, it completes a circuit only when the brass bead is lower than the silver bead.
- Push switch, made from trigger fabric, felt, and silver coated nylon.
It closes the circuit when you push it.
- Battery holder, made from trigger fabric, velcro, and silver coated nylon.
It has two pieces: a plus and minus side, and snugly holds your battery in a thin package.
- Small battery, to provide power for your project.
-
A 3x4 inch patch of fabric to practice on. You can always transfer your project later to more permanent clothing.

Important notes:
- Note that the brass bead on the sequins are positive.
- Direction of the push switch or tilt switch does not matter.
- There are several segments of conductive thread in each circuit.
Cut and use separate thread for each segment.
- You can connect up to four sequins to the same small battery.
Use the large battery if you want to connect more sequins.

You have a lot of flexibility in hooking up your kit: |
On when switch is pressed.
|
On when switch is pressed
AND tilt switch is tilted.
|
On when either switch is pressed
OR tilt switch is tilted.
|
Top is on when tilt switch is tilted.
Bottom is on when switch is pressed.
