Right Hand Left Foot

So I went out shopping for some conductive thread, which someone in class suggested that I use. Unfortunately, all the resources I could find required me to order them online which I would not get in time for the next class. So, I called up my friend who has worked in theatre making costumes to see if she might be able to direct me to a store that might have some. I heard that Mood had some according to one website, but she said they carry mostly fabric and not notions. She referred me to a place that specializes in metallic fibers and threads. I was able to procure some sample threads to test, but I don't think they are conductive enough... I may just have to buy the stuff at Lame Saver. Hmmm. I also shopped at a few jewerly-making supply shops since they have wires and threads... a bit pricey though.
