When the stitched areas are reversed (so what is stitched in the pattern becomes cloth, and cloth becomes stitch) does that produce a design with a different name?

Not that I know of. These patterns originated because of laws that prohibited peasants from wearing certain types of fabric. All that was then available was asa fibres, mainly hemp. In an effort to keep warm they devised these patterns.
