I cut some more grids (of different types) out of rubber fabric and two colours of fake leather. The settings I used are documented in the [MAKE](https://class.textile-academy.org/2019/jessica.stanley/projects/03make/) section of my final documentation
I need to make the grids larger! With more empty space around the edges, because I'll need to add snaps, or other connectors, so that the modules can connect together

## More soft potentiometers
This week I also tested a new design for a potentiometer. The image below shows a very rough prototype. A strip of conductive fabric is placed on top of a piece of non-conductive fabric, secured at one end, and held loosely in place in the middle and other end by fabric loops. By pulling the unsecured end of the strip, you reduce the amount of conductive fabric that's between point A and point B - it should work as a variable resistor!
