Abstract: There is provided a method of making a conductive assembly for use in textiles, the method comprising providing a composite material comprising: a temporary substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a stitching pattern comprising a plurality of lockstitches on the temporary substrate, such that a conductive thread is disposed at the first surface of the temporary substrate and a thermo-fusible thread is disposed at the second surface; and an insulating layer comprising an adhesive on top of at least part of the conductive thread on the first surface, the adhesive having an activation temperature which is higher than the Vicat softening point, as measured by method A120 of ASTM D1525, of the thermo-fusible thread; and heating the insulating layer and thermo-fusible thread to the activation temperature and curing the adhesive in the insulating layer of the composite material, thereby securing the conductive thread to the insulating layer.
