Thank you very much for the tutorial! This is one of the most useful on videos about patterns in Ai on KZbin. However I still have a question - is it possible to make it so that objects in a ready-made pattern can be grouped by color or moved? I'll be very grateful for your answer

[@kelseycasteel]

You can ‘save for web’ and it will save the art board with the pattern so you can make the repeat over and over

Hello Kelsey! Thanks for the tutorial it is really helpful and has helped me making lot of patterns this way. However, I'm coming back here because for some reason i followed every steps but my pattern still left with gap around it. It seems the second rectangle won't crop my design. Do you think you can see where i might get it wrong?

[@kelseycasteel]

Are you copying the background shape and sending it back with no fill or stroke?

[@dentdelions]

@@kelseycasteel ahh i see it works now! I was putting it above the background. Thank you so much for answering. I hope you have a good day

[@verathallinger6861]

I have been following your tutorial but somehow the thin white line between squares still shows up and no matter how i tweak the background square, it wont disappear. Do you have any tips for this?

[@kelseycasteel]

It could be a few things. First thing I do is delete the background box that has no full or stroke. Then I make sure my background is over my art board on all sides. I’ll then copy and paste the background again making sure it’s behind the background and get rid of the fill and stroke. After trying that if it doesn’t work delete your elements that are overhang on one side and make them repeat again. Sometimes an element can get moved slightly without us noticing. Sorry this is long but hopefully it helps

So you save this as RGB even though it will be printed?

[@kelseycasteel]

I save it RGB for social media but also save the AI file incase the pattern gets picked up for licensing. That way I can send it to client in the way that they need
