One embodiment of the present invention is an endless non-woven tissue
making fabric. The endless non-woven tissue making fabric has a machine
direction, cross-machine direction, a tissue machine contacting surface, a
tissue contacting surface, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The
non-woven tissue making fabric comprises a fabric strip of non-woven
material comprising at least one layer of non-woven material. The fabric
strip has a first edge, an opposing second edge, a machine direction, and
a cross-machine direction. The fabric strip may be spirally wound in a
plurality of contiguous turns wherein the first edge in a turn of the
fabric strip extends beyond the second edge of an adjacent turn of the
fabric strip, thereby forming a spirally continuous seam with adjacent
turns of the fabric strip.
