Hello Robin...I figured it out. How would you export this kind of pattern to Spoonflower? I usually export mine in illustrator as a png but not the pattern format like this.
Great question. Sadly, no. I would create the pattern at 90 degrees and fill an object. Then select the object and rotate the pattern only to 30 degrees. (you can find this option in the rotate diolog box)
@@RobinSchneider yes that’s how I normally rotate the patter fill but this would be for production so it would have to be a true angled pattern. The 45 is perfect but sometimes buyers want a less angled print. Thank you just the same. I subscribed to your channel btw.
Absolutely!! But only if you are using it to fill a flat. If it is a design to be screen or rotary printed on a textile it must be in a seamless repeat the size of a screen and just rotating it won't allow it to align seamlessly.
You’ve over complicated this by a massive margin. Apply that single vertical tile as your pattern. Apply that pattern to your object then use Object menu > Rotate to do the hard work! Just untick “rotate object” at the bottom of the box, so it only rotates the pattern. If you want to you can do the same thing to the pattern’s scale too by using Object menu > Scale, and unticking the “scale object” option.
Hi Stuart! Thanks for your comment. You are correct, that is easier. Here is a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/6pBj39fp7l4/v-deo.html it's called "Adobe for Fashion: Move, Rotate, and Scale Pattern Fills in Illustrator Flats/CADs". I did it differently this time in response to a subscriber question and to cover other concepts.
No because you need the repeat in the correct direction so it can be rotary or screen printed. It’s a quick way for design presentations but not production.

Awesome tutorials Robin👍👍👍👍
Thanks Omar! I hope you are doing well.
Is it possible to create an angled pattern that's not 45 degrees but maybe 30? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

Can't you make a vertical pattern and rotate only the pattern with the rotate tool ? much easy and any angle is possible 😊
Absolutely!! But only if you are using it to fill a flat. If it is a design to be screen or rotary printed on a textile it must be in a seamless repeat the size of a screen and just rotating it won't allow it to align seamlessly.

@@RobinSchneider would this simpler method work for a seamless production pattern as well ?
