I just want you to know that this is one of the best tips i have ever see! Can you imagine that i was cropping the art instead of using that transparent shape? Many times I drag the original illustrator patterns to artbord and was just imagining: How are these shapes preserved outside the tile area?

Thank you so much!

what corianton wrote is the most important feedback on here, everyone who didn’t follow the tutorial correctly should
check that comment before getting too hung up on trimmimg patterns and removing the editability from their work! this ossify a cool tip, I can’t believe I’ve NOT been doing this for si many years!

AWESOME tut – thank you so much for taking the time to write all this out!! I had never used the recolor tool – didn’t even know it existed! Also learned several other new-to-me techniques, so THANK-YOU!!

1. paste the brown square on the top (com/ctr F)
2. then select eveything
3. using the pathfinder tool, use the Crop button
4. this should leave a square with the pattern inside
5. drag this into your swatches panel.

I’ve tried what Kim said but unfortunately, I got ugly gaps or seams, whatever it is. Is there anything I’m doing wrong? Is there anyway I could avoid these obstacles? Please let me know. Thanks.
