SparkFun Conductive Thread Bobbin - 30ft

I was reading reviews about this product which made me a bit sceptical as people were saying this stuff doesn't work!Well I received mine and put it to use on a set of gloves which I use for work dailey.This stuff really works 100%the important bit when stiching is, it has to go through the glove so your finger is making contact with the actual stitch!mobile phones and most pda's have cpacitive screens and work when you make contact with the skin (finger or what ever you touch your phone with body wise😁)It will work as your body gives off a electrical charge making contact.Quite simply this must be the reason people have give bad reviews as they haven't stiched right through their glove.Just copy the amount I've used in my photo and make sure you follow what I've said here and your be golden.

I have used this thread on two pairs of motorcycling leather gloves, including rather thick winter gauntlets with an Outlast internal membrane. I feared possible problems, being leather etc. but all went well at the first attempt. Gloves still look good and more importantly they work flawlessly with my tablet! The job took only a few minutes see photo.

The only draw back was that there is not much on the roll, less than on the other ones I bought. Because of the price and amount you get for it, I won't buy this one again in the future. But otherwise good quality and easy to work with. Also with this one I did the magnet test and it stuck immediately to the Magnet.

I bought this for a motorcycle glove - when I first tried using it, I found my application was awful. After reading that a few stitches was enough, I took this literally and stabbed myself several times trying to get a needle into the pad of my thumb on what is thick leather. Photo attached - didn’t work. After some more research and the luck of some common sense I tried again on my index finger but instead stitching through the join in the globes which was far, far easier. Tonthe extent to which i got a lot more stitches in and also did the side of my thumb in order to pinch on a touch screen map when I inevitably take the wrong turning. Photos of the new stitches attached too! Now works excellently!

Tried everything on the reviews as far as advice went and still wouldn't work.It does stick to the magnet - It does work when wrapped around your finger but for the life of me no matter how i stitch it the stuff fails every single time. So i have an Otterbox cover with screen protector - The protector is thin but it won't make contact - Sadly a waste of money in my case.

Marvellous stuff. Just a few stitches through the finger tips of my favourite gloves and I can now use my phone without freezing my hands off. I reckon I could do about 20 pairs of gloves with this one bobbin so it's a definite money saver.

I dislike removing my gloves in cold weather to use a touchscreen. With this conductive thread, I was able to sew a few stitches in the tip of the index finger and thumb of my glove and now I can use my phone with my gloves on!

Great product. Arrived quickly.
