To facilitate the setting of a fabric and reduce the time for the setting of the fabric by using an on-machine-seamable press fabric in place of conventional endless press fabric.

An on-machine-seamable papermaker's fabric produced by modified endless weaving contains yarns of machine direction(MD) and cross-machine direction(CD). In the production of the fabric, the MD yarn reciprocates continuously back and forth between the two widthwise edges of the fabric, each time forming a seaming loop at one of the two widthwise edges. At least two additional CD yarns are interwoven with at least one of the top and bottom sides of the seaming loops at one or both widthwise edges. The additional CD yarns interweave with the top and/or bottom of the seaming loops in a leno weave, which keeps the seaming loops in a common position vertical relative to the plane of the papermaker's fabric and locks the seaming loops into a desired position and orientation in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the papermaker' s fabric.
