Abstract
This study explores efficient methods for production of customizable heated textiles. An electrical heating system using the Liberator40® conductive fiber, stitched in a serpentine pattern on stretch knit fabrics, was employed. Parameters including thread layers, pattern sizes, and different fiber-based substrates and covering were compared when analyzing resistance and temperature output. Results indicated that covered knit fabrics stitched with a 0.4cm serpentine spacing produced the most efficient measure of temperature.
