The objective of this research is to enable the engineered manufacturing of sewn and embroidered e-textiles. It is achieved by conducting sewability assessments of commercially available conductive yarns and providing optimal sewing parameters to ensure electrical performance and mechanical suitability. Our approach includes yarn sampling, measurements, sewing experiments, statistical modeling, and performance tests of sewn sensors. We have scrutinized a range of conductive yarns with different formation mechanisms and electrical conductivities. Highly conductive, flexible, and fine count yarns are of particular interest in this proposed research. The physical properties of selected conductive yarns have been characterized and sewing experiments have been followed to evaluate the machine sewability of these conductive yarns under diverse sewing conditions. Using multiple logistic regressions and machine learning, these empirical observations are generalized and sewability models are established.
