1. I need help does anybody know how to create movement in a seamless pattern I created in illustrator cc so that the pattern would be like how it would look on a real person when there doing a pose with one hip raised
2. I've been trying for hours now and it not cutting the pattern at the edges, so I wont get a seamless pattern :( Not sure what I am doing wrong...
3. Thank you for this great and easy to understand video tutorial!
4. Thank you! This is exactly what I was trying to figure out. Worked perfectly.

7. Oh my gosh thank you! I've been trying to figure this out for days.
8. Hi for some reason the box with no fill and no outline isn't working when i repeat it there is gaps. Any ideas why this is? I've tried repeating all the steps but no luck!
9. Thanks!
10. Hi. Loved this! thank you so much, really helpful for me as I do my fabrics from original watercolors and then csan and make patterns out of them in illustrator. I have a question though, which is - Once I have created the pattern (& it is added to my swatch library) is there any way to turn that swatch into a file (jpg, PNG etc..) to upload to Spoonflower or for printing onto fabric with a factory etc.. (so repeat will be just the same when they print) Thanks so Much - Jayda

19. Your videos are totally awesome! This was the most clear explanation of this that I have seen. I'm wondering, if you're trying to make a seamless repeat of something where the objects are all evenly spaced as opposed to tossed looking like the snowflakes, how would you do this? Thank you!
20. Thank you VERY MUCH SewHeidi ... :-)
