Every Tuesday, I've been trying to save my standards for many days. Sometimes I succeed, but without knowing how to repeat what was done. I was quite discouraged. Today 05/02/2024 I discovered your video and everything became clear and definitive for me. Thank you very much, I will look into the payment plans to support your UA-cam channel. Much health and peace to you.

Thanks Teela. This couldn't have come at a better time. It took me months to understand all the nitty gritty of the Swatches panel and pattern making tool in Illustrator. Nothing is intuitive at all 😩.

[@Antares-dw9iv]

Would it murder Abode to make anything even remotely straightforward and intuitive?

[@EveryTuesday]

😂

Thank you for this tutorial!! For cleaning up your swatches panel and removing the other colours, is that an optional step? Thanks!

Hi once you have saved that pattern tile as Ai like you showed in the tutorial, if you just send that file to a client or printer will it print seamlessly? thank you :)

[@ojoseavelar]

Muito Obrigado!!! Me ajudou muito, pois não encontrei nada em português-BR. Thank you so much!! :)

[@dioraergasheva3435]

Thank you so much !

[@melrowlands4801]

Thanks for this Teela:)

[@hormiga4sm]

Thanks for this helpful video 💛
But I have a problem if I want to save the pattern as a normal image format, for example, PNG, for a client who does not use design software.
How do I save the pattern as a regular image without spoiling it when duplicating it side by side?💛

How do you get it in the swatch library?

[@aufgespielt3768]

Hey Teela, how can we save our Pattern to our Adobe Cloud Library? Thanks

[@katieelizabeth11]

How do I save a pattern I created for a client who doesn't have illustrator and needs to send a pattern to a manufacturer?

[@clo3dbyleblogdeyolaine415]

I ask this question for days now.... Can't find this answer...

[@urbexdrw8400]

Did you find a way to do it?

[@lozzieelizadesigns05]

It would have to be exported as a tile which wasn’t mentioned in the video in export as

[@hilarysutherland682]

Are you planning to do more adobe tutorials?

[@bil_chamberlin]

Dang! thanks

[@louisesantos276]

Can you export it in png form?

[@-noura6153]

i love u.

[@KungFuJunky]

Is it possible to save a pattern in Illustrator and then open it in Photoshop?

[@EveryTuesday]

You would need to export the pattern tile from Illustrator as a jpg (or other compatible file) then open that in Photoshop and define it as a pattern from there

[@KungFuJunky]

@@EveryTuesday Ok great I'll try that! Thanks! :)

[@Violet-cm4dy]

Perfeeeect! Thank you! 😁
