This conductive fabric breakout circuit is also an example of a plugable hard to soft connection.

Remove paper backing from conductive fabric that you want to fuse.

Line-up conductive fabric with base fabric. Check to see the light through the holes.

Iron and remove excess.

Bend over tabs and fuse in place.

Fuse isolation patch in order to jump a trace.

Front and back.

Insert female headers and bend the backs in opposite directions for stability.

Add a dot to indicate orientation. Use fabric glue to clog holes of headers so that when you add the resin it does not flow all the way into the headers, clogging them.

Add layers of silicone and plexiglass stencils to both sides to create an area for resin to flow into.

Use clamps to pressure together and keep in place.

Mix a very small amount of acrylic – smoothcast 125 from smooth-on – and pour into mold.

De-mold after about 10 minutes.

Carefully insert Teensy to make sure none of your female headers are clogged.
