Filling sateen: which description describes its surface?

• A. Crepeback satin
• B. Filling sateen
• C. White on white
• D. Moire print satin

Answer: (B)

Filling sateen describes the surface because sateen is a satin-weave fabric where the face is created by the long floats of the filling (weft) yarns. This means the visible surface is formed by the weft yarns floating over several warp threads, giving a smooth, lustrous finish characteristic of sateen. The other options point to different surface features: crepeback satin implies a creped texture on the back, white on white refers to color, and moire print satin describes a pattern created by calendar embossing. So the defining surface trait here is the weft (filling) floats showing on the face.
