I have an issue with my pattern. It seems to be a huge gap that I need to correct manually in order to have the seamless repeat otherwise ther is a huge gap. Please see screenshot attached. I have checked my document and there  are no element outide the board. I have also tried to make a clipping mask and trim what is out of the voard but still have the same gap that you see in the screenshot. I would like to know what I am doing wrong and how to fix it.

Thanks!

The blue box you see is defining the size of your pattern tile.

Try to scale it with the Pattern Tile Tool (to be found in the upper left corner of the Pattern Options panel)

And try to make your pattern tile size rounded pixel values.

You could have started from the background rectangle only to set the size of your pattern in the pattern maker (no fractional pixels to avoid white lines) and copy paste the leaves from another document in the pattern maker.

I am getting this issues as well. I have set mey document to the same settings as previous patterns but still no joy. I have even watched several videos and followed along step by step and I am still getting huge gaps. Any Solution?

Did you use the pattern editing mode?

 

Please show your pattern.

    Hi Ton, 

    Thanks for your help.

    I am doing this but I cannot understand what I am doing wrong.

    In some patterns I design I do not have this issue. In others, like the one attached, I need to adjust the tile manually. 

    I am wondering what it is wrong with the artwork as I use the same method.
