I am trying to recreate this pattern from a textile

Hi! 

I am trying in Substance Designer to recreate a diamond shaped textile. But I want it to tile like a diamond pattern does, meaning it will have diagonal rows. But I can only achieve a hexagonal shaped pattern, which doesn´t create this diagonal diamond shaped pattern. 
Any ideas on how to do this in Substance Designer?

Have you tried rotating it -45 degrees, tiling it, then rotating it back +45 degrees. You have to adjust the size in the final transform so it touches each corner exactly in order to get it to tile correctly.

I didn't make the full fibre pattern but a couple of simple shapes to show the idea.
