This module was created using parametric design (Grasshopper for Rhino), and sewn using an embroidery machine. I've documented the process of designing the pattern, and the maths behind it [here](https://class.textile-academy.org/2019/jessica.stanley/projects/project_diary/week05/#exploring-space-filling-curve-designs-for-resistors), and instructions for machine embroidery [here](https://class.textile-academy.org/2019/jessica.stanley/projects/project_diary/week07/#embroidery-experiments)
* The conductive thread used here is a linen/steel mix that looks white, but you could use any conductive thread.
* The conductive thread is used as the bottom thread in the embroidery machine, because using it as the top thread results in serious tangles. This means you need to put the fabric in the embroidery hoop bottom-side up, as we still need the conductive thread to be on the top of the module.
* I did some experiments and adjusted the machine tension until I got clean, neat stitches.
* I did some experiments and adjusted the machine tension until I got clean, neat stitches that weren't too loose on either the top or bottom of the fabric.
This module was made by hand, but you could also do some of the steps with a laser cutter! The resistivity of the yarn, as well as the spaces between where the yarns cross over in the 'loopy' part of the pattern, will affect the tones that the Anni module plays
