Abstract
A method for producing a smart textile includes stitching with a conductive thread from a first point outside a segmented area that is set on a sheet material toward a second point on the segmented area. An embroidery with the conductive thread is sewn from the second point as a starting point to apply a segment in the segmented area. These series of steps are executed without performing a process for cutting the conductive thread by stopping the sewing process of the conductive thread.
Claims9
A method for producing a smart textile using a sewing machine, wherein the smart textile has stitching with a conductive thread being applied on a base material made of an insulating sheet material, the method comprising:
- a first stitching step, wherein
- a segmented area is set on the insulating sheet material where a segment equivalent to the stitching, representing a function as an element, and
- stitching having the conductive thread proceeds from a first point outside the segmented area toward a second point on the segmented area;
- and
- an embroidery step, wherein an embroidery having the conductive thread is sewn from the second point starting to apply the segment in the segmented area,
- wherein a series of steps from the first stitching step through the embroidery step is executed without performing a process for cutting the conductive thread by stopping the sewing process with the conductive thread.
A method for producing smart textiles using a sewing machine, the smart textiles have stitching with a conductive thread being applied on an insulating sheet material, the method comprising:
- segmenting an area on the insulating sheet material to form a segment, wherein the segment is equivalent to the stitching, and wherein the stitching having the conductive thread starts from a first point outside the segmented area to a second point on the segmented area;
- and
- sewing an embroidery having the conductive thread from the second point to apply the segment on the segmented area, wherein the steps of segmenting and sewing are continuously performed without performing a process for cutting the conductive thread.
