A textile fabric containing a first electrically conductive thread and a second electrically conductive thread is disclosed. In one aspect, the first electrically conductive thread and the second electrically conductive thread cross at a first crossover point, wherein the textile fabric further contains an electrical connector establishing an electrical connection between the first electrically conductive thread and the second electrically conductive thread. The electrical connector contains a first contact pad in electrical contact with the first electrically conductive thread, a second contact pad in electrical contact with the second electrically conductive thread, and a first stretchable electrical interconnection connecting the first contact pad with the second contact pad. The first contact pad and the second contact pad are provided at a location different from the location of the first crossover point. Methods for electrically interconnecting crossing electrically conductive threads of textile fabrics are also disclosed.
