Abstract: The invention relates to a patterned fabric with a motif, consisting of warp threads (12) and weft threads (11). The weft threads form a group of threads and form a cell together with at least one warp thread. The weft threads are connected to the warp threads in the cell in such a way that the cell gives a specific colour impression. The cell is composed of bonds, without a repeat, which are formed by at least two warp threads and two weft threads and are irregular in the warp and weft directions. The patterned fabric has the advantage that the fabric motif is an exact reproduction of that of the model.

Abstract: The label has two non-folded longitudinal sides (1) and two foldable narrow sides (2) and consists of a backing fabric (11) with warp threads (4) and basic picks (5), in addition to embroidery picks (12) made of a fusible thread material forming the pattern. The embroidery picks (12) forming the pattern extend parallel and at a distance to the unfolded longitudinal sides (1) of the backing fabric (11). The non-folded longitudinal side (1) is an edge of a cut formed in the backing fabric outside the area (13) of the pattern. The label has the advantage that the edges of the cuts on the longitudinal sides are soft and skin friendly thereby substantially improving wearing comfort. Due to the fact that the edge of the cuts produced by the basic picks have practically no brows and the picks extend parallel in relation to the longitudinal side of the labels, and even appearance is achieved on the entire length of the label since the picks cover evenly the back part.
