Thanks. As Monika noticed, a shorter belt works and as often, the older classic 3d works fine and will give you editable vectors after expanding (instead of non-native art).

Works fine here. Does switching between GPU and CPU Preview make a difference? Cmd or Ctrl E

Uncompressed they look good in PDF, but 2629 PPI is a very high res for the lower left image.
Illustrator is always giving the wrong resolution for rotated images: in this case 4580x1509 ppi
But somehow after compression the resulting resolution is different for width and height: 311.693/300.988 ppi. Maybe the combination of rotation, compression and Illustrators calculation of the resolution is causing this. But even the downsampled version does look much better on my Mac than on your screendump (if you do not zoom in too much)

Good to hear that helped. Linking will make the Illustrator file smaller and give the client the opportunity to edit and modify the images in Photoshop. So it depends on what the client wants.

Did you try to select the belt and the holes and use Object > Compound Path > Make?
(And 399 pt may be a little too much for the depth).

If they are linked.
When you place an image using File > Place... and in the options the Link checkbox is checked, you will Link the files. If it is unchecked, you will embed the files and no links folder will be created during packaging.

Yes, when he was dragging the star, while holding down his mouse, he was using the up and down arrow keys to increase the number of points.

That's OK. When they are embedded they are inside the Illustrator file and no longer linked.
The external files are no longer needed for this document.

Can you check in the Links panel if they are embedded instead of linked?

As Monika suggested, but instead of Copy I would use Cut to avoid a duplicate on the original artboard.

It looks like you are opening the Illustrator part of the file which looks for the missing images.
While your colleague may open the PDF part of the file, which always has the images embedded.
You can ask your client for the missing images and relink them or import the PDF in Photoshop and select images to extract them.

A pattern swatch can look like a color swatch when you have dragged an object to the swatches panel.
You can check which swatches are patterns by selecting it from the Swatches pop up menu.

You can try to set up multiple artboards next to each other of a size that can be printed with bleed on the papersize you want. And Save or Export as PDF.

Yes @Doug A Roberts that looks like what's happening when you have edited and add objects to a New Document Profile.
@qorneva Did you use a Creative Cloud Library? And how do you save the SVG, export, save as, export Assets, export for Screens?

Overprint Preview and Export to jpeg will show th problem. But yes, initially it shows as white on a colored background, which it should not do unless you have a white Spot ink.

Yes, white is assumed the paper color and not an ink. As soon as you change the paper color, your white will change too.
It will be easier to create a layer below your artwork and create a rectangle with the garment color. Set the layer to non print.

Can you copy the text, paste it in a new document and check if that exports, if not can you share the document.
Save as PDF to attach it here.
