For some reason my seemless pattern has objects that are doubling up. I cant figure out why it is doing this. If anyone knows why this is happening please help me out. Thanks a bunch in advance.

And once the swatch has been created and you want to retrieve the tile as a repeating one (as sometimes printers prefer to deal with a tile than with the actual file with the pattern repeating - for fabrics for example) Then you can drag and drop the relevant swatch into your canvas. I learned this trick recently and it saved me hours!

And you can edit your pattern afterwards by double clicking the swatch in the Swatches panel.

I'm going to check out some vids on pattern maker and try it out. I will give updates on how it works for me. Thanks

It seems as in your pattern there are two stars on the same spot / or on the left and right edge which will result in them showing up on the same spot. As they are a different size there might be two stars you are dealing with.

Follow Ton's advice -- Pattern Maker is the easiest way to create patterns.

After you draw the shapes for the pattern,

Select all the shapes and choose Object > Pattern > Make. Click OK if a dialog appears.

You will get a preview of the pattern and the Pattern Options panel will open. In Pattern Options you can adjust the spacing and other settings.

When satisfied, you can click Done in the upper left corner of the window.

How do you create them, do you use the Pattern maker?

No I don't use he pattern maker because from my understanding you can't use it as a swatch if you do it that way. I place my objects On the left and duplicate them to the right. Same for top and bottom. Then I fill the middle and create a bounding box. Last I crop it to delete the parts of the objects that are hanging outside the lines. Drag it to my swatch panel afterwards. I then create a square and fill it with my design. If I scale to the exact size of my art board I have no problem. But if I scale larger I get the issue posted.

Your pattern will automatocally be added to the Swatches panel if you use the Pattern Maker.
