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.
