We then proceeded to sewing the conductive thread onto the shirt. We had a lot of trouble in this process because there were many places that the sewing machine could not really get to. And because we still had the fiber optics intact to the shirt, it was hard to work around them. Besides that, the sewing machine was having all sorts of problems: the thread was getting stuck to a certain part of the machine, and the needle constantly jams for no apparent reason, as well as, endless times of running out of conductive thread. Occassionally, the fiber optics would fall out of their position because the tape lost it's stickiness, and we would have to figure out where the position the fiber belongs to, and then correspond it to the correct group of fibers that are bunched together.
