The amount one pattern is duplicated down the length of the fabric. Pattern repeat is one full pattern.
The distance between repeating patterns in a design
The distance between a given point in the pattern and the point where the pattern starts again.
The measurement taken from where a pattern ends to when it begins to repeat itself.
The distance up and down before the printed pattern exactly repeats/duplicates itself.
The measurement, in length and width, of a single unit of a repeating pattern. Some pattern repeats are very noticeable while others are much more subtle.
the "repeat" of a pattern is the distance between any given point in a design to where that exact point is repeated again
The distance from one point in a pattern, to the next point where it is repeated.
The length of a pattern before it repeats.
The distance between identical motifs in a pattern. The total measurement of one complete design. Knowing the distance between the pattern repeats on the fabric is vital in order to join patterned fabric and also is key in determining how much extra fabric to buy.
1. (Leavers and raschel lace) The distance motion-way of one complete repeat of the design. 2. (Furnishing lace) The distance motion-way and carriageway over which motifs and designrepeat. This is determined motion-way by the number. of motions of the jacquard required to complete one repeat of the design, and carriage-way by the cutting of the cards; the maximum possible repeat is determined by the jacquard tie-up. Note 1.. In the finished lace, the repeat carriageway is at right angles to, and the repeat motion way is in line with, the warp and bobbin threads. Note 2.. In certain products, eg., lace panels, patterned borders are used to surround an area in which there are pattern repeats.
How often the pattern is duplicated at intervals down the fabric or wall covering; one repeat is one full pattern.
