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.

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.

After arranging the circuit, carefully connect each LilyPad component to the LilyMini with conductive thread.

If you need help sewing with conductive thread this tutorial covers the basics.
