after you expand appearance, go to your direct select tool, before you do anything make sure you deselect ( at the top select > deselect ) click between the very top line of the rectangle, hold shift and click the very bottom line of the rectangle, then hit delete. for the people whose stuck on that part ^ i tried explaining it the best i can
I deleted the sections but after the expand appearance step, when I selete the edges , they don't get deleted actually. The whole white part deletes and I am left with the flag only. You did it with direct selection tool , I just selected it and pressed the del button. What do I do now?

Was informative but WAY too fast. Not clear on each step. Would like to see an in-depth process with explanation so I could learn the techniques. Sorry without the explanation as to what and why it is difficult. Thanks for your time.
@@CaryHawkins Hi Cary Thanks for reply. I am learning Adobe and have limited skills. I just thought your tutorial was good but the pace is too fast for me. I could not keep up with everything you were doing. I will try to go back and replay in sections. Thanks for your response.
What did you learn in this tutorial?
How you delete the edge I didn't understand plz tell me again easier way🙏

Legit was about to quit illustrator forever because of this annoying thing I couldn't manage to figure out myself. Thanks a lot.
@@blend443 ofc !
Thank you so much. This is by far the best flag tutorial I have found.
Thanks for posting. This video was amazing... I was able to follow along and make a nice flag. This is definitely a tutorial I will keep close.
Love it!
Could we use the curvature tool and the shape builder tool to divide the flag? Would that work?
It only works if it is a vector flag? I have a PNG flag wich I have imported to stage.
Right.
after expanding appearance, the edges do not delete by themselves.

It won't let me to the dividing part... It says I need to select one or more filled parts. How do I fix this?
It sounds like you don't have all parts selected.
Thanx Bro. Great video
Glad you liked it. Thanks for leaving some feedback!
Good Tutoreal, useful
Thanks!
Yeah after expanding the appearance, what did you do? the whole object just gets deleted...
Direct select tool. Hotkey A so you don't delete the whole thing.
I can't delete the sections, when I do delet. The whole grid deletes and I am left with the flag only.
Direct selection tool?
@@CaryHawkinsyes.
Good keep it up
Thanks, trying to!
Bro please give me this flag illustrator file 🙏🏻 ❤
I did... If you follow the tutorial.

Slow it down?

No problem. I just thought you might try slowing down the speed of the playback. UA-cam let's you do 75%, 50%, etc.
pathfinder does not work at ll
?
I can't get the image to split either at the pathfinder/divide stage
It works guys. Keep trying. Something is off.
And I certainly lost you there 1:48 - 2:13
What's confusing you?
@@CaryHawkins Oh, you just starting mumbling kind of.
You're too fast bro! 😔
Playback speed bro.
