A method for making an apertured substrate, the method comprising: rotating a pattern roll about an axis of rotation extending in a cross direction, the pattern roll comprising an outer circumferential surface , the pattern roll comprising: a number, n, of continuous threads extending circumferentially around the axis of rotation along a helical path parallel with each other, wherein n is 2 or greater; wherein each thread protrudes radially outward from the outer circumferential surface ; wherein each thread comprises first outer surfaces and second outer surfaces intermittently arranged circumferentially around the axis of rotation along a length of each thread ; wherein the first outer surfaces are positioned radially outward from the axis of rotation by a first radius R1; wherein the second outer surfaces are positioned radially outward from the axis of rotation by a second radius R2 less than the first radius R1; wherein each first outer surface extends axially in the cross direction, from a first edge to a second edge ; wherein the first edges of neighboring threads are separated by a pitch length, PL, extending in the cross direction; wherein the first edges of a first thread are separated from first edges of the first thread by a lead length, LL, extending in the cross direction, wherein [LL = PL ∗ n]; and wherein each thread comprises a helix angle, wherein [helix angle = arctan ((2 ∗ Π ∗ R1)/(LL)), wherein 45° < helix angle < 90°]; rotating an anvil roll adjacent the pattern roll ; advancing a substrate in a machine direction between the pattern roll and the anvil roll , the machine direction being substantially perpendicular to the cross direction; compressing the substrate between the anvil roll and the first outer surfaces of the threads to form discrete bond regions in the substrate ; and stretching the substrate in the cross direction to cause the discrete bond regions to rupture and form apertures . rotating a pattern roll about an axis of rotation extending in a cross direction, the pattern roll comprising an outer circumferential surface , the pattern roll comprising: a number, n, of continuous threads extending circumferentially around the axis of rotation along a helical path parallel with each other, wherein n is 2 or greater; wherein each thread protrudes radially outward from the outer circumferential surface ; wherein each thread comprises first outer surfaces and second outer surfaces intermittently arranged circumferentially around the axis of rotation along a length of each thread ; wherein the first outer surfaces are positioned radially outward from the axis of rotation by a first radius R1; wherein the second outer surfaces are positioned radially outward from the axis of rotation by a second radius R2 less than the first radius R1; wherein each first outer surface extends axially in the cross direction, from a first edge to a second edge ; wherein the first edges of neighboring threads are separated by a pitch length, PL, extending in the cross direction; wherein the first edges of a first thread are separated from first edges of the first thread by a lead length, LL, extending in the cross direction, wherein [LL = PL ∗ n]; and wherein each thread comprises a helix angle, wherein [helix angle = arctan ((2 ∗ Π ∗ R1)/(LL)), wherein 45° < helix angle < 90°]; rotating an anvil roll adjacent the pattern roll ; advancing a substrate in a machine direction between the pattern roll and the anvil roll , the machine direction being substantially perpendicular to the cross direction; compressing the substrate between the anvil roll and the first outer surfaces of the threads to form discrete bond regions in the substrate ; and stretching the substrate in the cross direction to cause the discrete bond regions to rupture and form apertures . <EOS>
