<p>An on-machine-seamable papermaker's fabric (100) includes first (110) and second (120) base fabrics joinable into an endless form with a seam (112, 122). The fabrics are attached to one another by at least one layer of staple fiber bast (90) entangled therethrough such that they are offset with respect to one another in a lengthwise direction when joined. At least one extra cross-machine (CD) yarn (136, 138) is woven with at least two of the following: (a) the outer side of the seaming loops (132, 134) of at least one widthwise edge of the outer base fabric (b) the inner side of the seaming loops of at least one widthwise edge of the outer base fabric; (c) the outer side of the seaming loops of at least one widthwise edge of the inner base fabric; and ( d) the inner side of the seaming loops of at least one widthwise edge of the inner base fabric.</p> |
