Stitching into a Project
Carefully snap the pieces of the ProtoSnap apart to prepare for sewing. Use a set of pliers or diagonal cutters if you are having trouble snapping the pieces apart. Discard the non-sewable pieces and scraps.
Before sewing, use a pen cap or other non-metal object to carefully push the battery out of the holder. The LilyMini’s battery fits tightly in the holder.
Arrange the LilyPad pieces on your project and secure with a small dab of hot glue or fabric glue, making sure not to cover the holes in the sew tabs. Double check the orientation of the LilyPad pieces against your diagram (or template if using a SparkFun design) before gluing. To help you plan your stitch lines, draw your circuit onto the felt with chalk or a washable marker.
The image above is an example of a project diagram using the LilyMini ProtoSnap. For instructions and downloadable template, visit the Night-Light Pennant tutorial.
After arranging the circuit, carefully connect each LilyPad component to the LilyMini with conductive thread.
