Electronic textiles are an enabling technology for a variety of applications in health care, rehabilitation or sports. In this paper, three methods to combine flexible plastic strips with textiles are discussed. Flexible plastic strips serve as carriers for electronic devices. The first approach uses a roving frame to wrap flexible plastic strips with cotton fibers. For the second method, flexible plastic strips are woven into textiles using a narrow fabric loom and a rapier loom. In the third…
