A paper machine mesh, in particular a forming mesh, includes an upper and a lower fabric layer and binder threads to join the two fabric layers, the lower fabric layer having a weaving pattern which is repeated in lower repeats. Within the lower repeat, each binder thread of each pair with lower longitudinal threads forms at least one tie segment and each tie segment is formed in that the respective binder thread of the pair continually crosses two or more directly consecutive lower longitudinal threads on the outer side of the lower fabric layer, and the tie segments of each binder thread pair are arranged relative to the lower transverse threads flanking said segments.
