Abstract: Systems and methods for manufacturing a woven seamed structure are provided herein. A method includes providing a plurality of threads parallel to a warp axis and providing a weaving thread, and then weaving the weaving thread into the plurality of threads back and forth in directions parallel to a weft axis. The weaving thread, in a machine direction, changes patterns at positions along the weft axis that change gradually or intermittently as the weaving thread is woven in the machine direction such that a first transition line and a second transition line, respectively, are formed at non-zero angles from the warp axis and the weft axis. This forms a woven seamed structure with a central axis that extends along a non-zero angle from the warp axis or the weft axis, such example woven seamed structure exhibiting enhanced stretchability and conformance.
