Abstract: Chapter 12 provides information on the design and application of embroideries in smart textiles. It discusses various methods and technologies for the production of textile-based sensors. Additionally, the use of conductive threads for sewing and embroidering is examined, including an overview of different types of conductive threads and their electrical properties. The chapter highlights the importance of determining the sewing capability of these threads. Furthermore, it presents an experimental investigation of specific conductive threads, focusing on testing their electrical resistance and washability. The results of this investigation are analyzed and discussed. The chapter also delves into the design aspects of using conductive threads in stitches and patterns for e-textiles, considering design requirements and thread consumption. It concludes with an experimental study exploring the capacitance and electrical conductivity of the designed stitches and patterns. Finally, different applications of conductive threads in the development of smart textiles, e-textiles, wearable electronics, medical items, interactive art and fashion, soft robotics, prototyping, and rapid electronics are discussed.
