Explanation:
Only thing I can think of it does not brush up the wrong way because it does not have a pile.
Hope this helps as an explanation, you would of course have to condense it somehow.

  • As this fabric has no pile you can lay the pattern pieces in any direction.

non-directional nap/pile


Explanation:
Just a suggestion - could this be what is meant, i.e. not that the fabric does not have a nap/pile, but that the nap/pile has no visible direction, thus offering more flexibility?

non-directional nap/pile - strichunempfindlich
as opposed to
directional nap/pile - strichempfindlich
where matching of direction and pattern is necessary
