Abstract
A paper machine fabric has a paper side and a machine side facing away from the paper side. The fabric comprises a plurality of cross direction threads and machine direction threads. Each machine direction thread has a first portion woven with the cross direction threads, a loop, and a second portion adjacent the first portion and woven with the cross direction threads, with the loop connecting the first and second portions. Each first portion is adjacent to a first portion of an adjacent machine direction thread. The first portions have a same first repeated weaving pattern, each one of which is in phase. Each second portion is adjacent to a second portion of an adjacent machine direction thread. The second portions have a same second repeated weaving pattern, each one of which is in phase. The first repeated weaving pattern differs from the second repeated weaving pattern.
