Italian term

trama battuta

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Type of fabric
"Micro ricamini movimentano *trame battute*, cotoni compatti e denim accoppiati."
In relation to childrenswear - in a "trend book" aimed at fashion design professionals. Can anyone tell me if this is a "flat weave" in US English, or something else? "Beaten weave" doesn't seem to exist.

Thanks SwissTell, but most of the hits refer to satin or silk and I don't think that's the case here, talking about kids clothing (of course you never know, but it seems a bit unlikely!)

This was probably too technical for the context, but thanks anyway, I will bear it in mind for future translations!
