Findings:

1. In order to move fluently, it’s better to roll the fabric the way we wanted gently before we connected to the circuit. Folding too hard will damage the flexinol.

2. The fabric should be as small as possible, the effect will be compromised if the fabric is too big and too heavy.

3. We need to sew the thread around the flexinol neither too tight nor too loose.

Strengths:

When using correctly, the moving effect is really dramatic and vivid.

Easy to use with light materials such as fabrics and paper.

Weakness:

It’s getting hot.

A little bit hard to control the movement at the beginning.

The length limitation.

Not much freedom to control the speed of the movement.
