Excellent tutorial Moe. You explained this so well. For me, the important step that helped me understand how this function works is... the nudge setting - I had to adjust the settings so that the image moves 1000 px. Thank you. :)
Hi! Thank you for your video, it is really helpful! I have a question.. at 11:48 you talk about a rendering line? I illustrated a pants in Inkscape and used a repeating pattern as pattern to fill. But when i export it to pdf i keep seeing those lines.. What can i do about that?
Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out how to create seamless patterns to import into silhouette for a while now. I mostly like to figure things out on my own but putting aside my pride, its good to seek a little help every once in a while.:) Cheers!
your tutorials are great. keep them coming. I will be buying the silhouette or cricut and I would love to learn from you to make my planner stickers. thanks a bunch!!!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Bless ya! Can this also be downloaded as an SVG instead of PNG? I'm specifically trying to make a repeating pattern stencil. Edit: Figured it out!
+Hellzbelle glad it helped!! I wanted it to be super easy to follow to show how easy it is! I was intimidated at first but it is very simple. Thanks for watching!
How do you work out how big your finished repeating pattern will be. I followed your video and made my first seamless pattern but I’m worried to send it to the printers as I’m not sure how I work out how big the scale of the pattern will be ?
You did a great job explaining this video! I am researching the best way to make a vector repeat pattern for my manufacturer. (The file will be used to print onto fabric). They asked for an .ai file or vector file. My question is, when you saved this file, i noticed that it was a PNG file and not a vector file, even though you used .ai artwork to create this pattern. How does that work? I’m just a little confused by that. I’m hoping this will be a better option rather than having to purchase and learn adobe illustrator! Thanks!
Hi Moe, I tried this technique today and discovered a thin line between the 1000px nudges. How do I fix it? I made sure the square did not have any strokes on it.
Hi there, thanks for this amazing tutorial! I just have a quick question I'm hoping you or someone might be able to help me with. Once I've added the extra square on top, highlighted them all and then right clicked and chosen 'set clip' - it does what yours does but everything is white - you can't actually see any of the colours or images. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks x
Dear Moe, This is a wonderful tutorial. . . Could you please advise? When I "set the clip," my images (previously edited in Inkscape) revert to their original form and obscure one another. Could send screen capture of what I mean, if you are open to receiving. Thanks for the rescue!
Hi Thank you showing us how to do this. When you say "nudge with the arrows". What arrows are you talking about, is it the four arrows that are on the keyboard?
Learned so much. So that's how I can make my own digital paper huh. Now to learn how to draw my own stuff lol. Can you show us how to make those boxes and half boxes for any sized planner?
+onlyoldnavy Glad it helped you out! You can move into the Silhouette software and use the pattern you've just created to fill any size box you make - any shape, box, even icon if it is an SVG file can have the pattern fill. At the end of the video when I made a simple box, just make whatever shape you'd like and fill it with the pattern.
Thank you so much for such a clearly explained tutorial. I learnt so much. I have tried to download vectors from Freepik but I only get jpeg or eps in the download and they don't work in Inkscape Any advice please?
some of the FreePik downloads do not include an AI (or Adobe Illustrator) files to use with InkScape.. I find it's just hit or miss....I know you can install an extension to work with EPS files but I'm unfamiliar with how that woks.
Great tutorial. I know that you can create patterns in Inkscape, but I don't know how you can name and save them for later - it would be nice if the guys at Inkscape worked on this a bit more. This technique is great for using with Silhouette. Thanks.
+Juanita Groves Do you mean like an obmre checklist box for sticker making? Or an obmre pattern? I do not think one would be able to make an ombre repeating pattern as the ombre would cause a problem when the square is tiled across the page. But I think and obmre checklist tutorial would be a great idea. Thanks for watching!
this is amazing! thank you for this I can do this on illustrator but can't afford the monthly sub ! i was wondering how we did it on inkscape. can you use the tile as a pattern fill on inkscape say to fill a shape?
Yes, you should be able to. I have to say I'm just sharing things as I learn them but I do believe if you select Object form the menu bar, then pattern, then object to pattern, it puts the pattern you made into the fill pattern drop down menu. But I'm not 100% certain on how that part works yet. Hope you try more in inkscape. It is a fun program to play around with and great because it is free!! Thanks for watching :)
hello guys , does anyone know if im making a vector image and i want to copy a specific design on it if its possible. like on the shirt it has a lot of flowers , is it possible
In my experience that is a rendering problem meaning it's just an error with the way the computer/software displays the repeated pattern and shouldn't show up in the finished pattern.
Hi Moe, I created a surface pattern and your tutorial was very helpful but when I duplicated the squares and placed it next to each other i found a thin white line between them I tried to fix it but I couldn't any help please !!! thank you
I believe that effect is just in the visual display of the screen - I've had that happen on my screen but not on the final product. I'm not sure how to fix it if it does show up on the final product though...I'm sorry.
This is an Awsome video. I'm having a tad problem tho, When it comes to saving and exporting once I do all of that and I go to put it into my silhouette studio it wont work and the image save is in text format. I'm using a Mac btw I don't know if that changes anything !! Any advice ?
i'm not sure here! You are exporting as a PNG file? I'm not sure why it wouldn't save as an image. Can you check the file extension and make sure it says .png at the end? Otherwise, I'm not sure. Sorry!!
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your help the other day. I finally figured out what the problem was. I had to first save it as an SVG then export it to PNG ( What a headache ) I'm sure there is a much better way of doing this and eventually I'll figure it out but for now, I'm just happy I got something saved thank you
I had the same problem also. I am working on a Mac and I did the same thing to make it a png file. It is a pain. I have a Windows machine, I might try it there and see if it is only a Mac issue.
OH no! Have to tried to download the Mac version? I would do a quick google search 'trouble shooting inkscape download for mac' or something along those lines to see if there might be an article to help you out. I hope you find a way around it! I'm not a pro at computers..so I'm not a good person to ask for trouble shooting advice. Whenever I have a problem I use some Google-Fu lol
Gurl !!! I have been watching repeating pattern tutorials this week, and YOU EXPLAINED IT THE BEST❣😀
I agree
Thanks, the tutorial worked a lot .
this is the best i keep coming back to it
it's true...it's 2020 but it's still super helpful..thank you so much!you have just changed my approach to pattern design, salludos from canary island
Thank you so much! This video may be 5 years old, but it is exactly the information I needed today!
Excellent tutorial! Thanks!!

Its 2020, and this video is very helpful. I just made two motifs for my projects and uploaded it to cricut design space. Thanks so much!
That's a brilliant tutorial thanks.
Ive been watching vids all day and yours is the only one that made sense to me! Thank you so much!!
Amazing! I've been looking all over for some info how to make it in Inkscape and I had no idea it's so easy! Thank you so much!
Yay! So glad it helped. Thanks for watching :)

Great video! Thank you
Excellent, excellent I was looking for things like that. Please keep going
Thank you thank you. This was so clear and concise. I have created a pattern and repeated it and am delighted!!
Hooray!! I'm so glad it worked for you! Thank you for watching :)
Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out how to create seamless patterns to import into silhouette for a while now. I mostly like to figure things out on my own but putting aside my pride, its good to seek a little help every once in a while.:) Cheers!
So glad it has helped you!! Thats why I make videos - as soon as I learn something I'm like "I gotta share it!". Thanks for watching :)
your tutorials are great. keep them coming. I will be buying the silhouette or cricut and I would love to learn from you to make my planner stickers. thanks a bunch!!!
+monica4009houston yay!! I hope to do so many more - there is just too little time!! I have a few videos queued up. Thanks for watching :)
Thank You!, Lucid and to the point!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Bless ya! Can this also be downloaded as an SVG instead of PNG? I'm specifically trying to make a repeating pattern stencil. Edit: Figured it out!
Moe you are a genius! You make it so easy!! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thank you! I knew if I kept searching, I’d fine a video with the info I needed.
Great video! Thank you so much. I learned a lot.
Cool video! Is there a reason why you didn't clone the tile?
You did a great job explaining this video!
I am researching the best way to make a vector repeat pattern for my manufacturer. (The file will be used to print onto fabric). They asked for an .ai file or vector file. My question is, when you saved this file, i noticed that it was a PNG file and not a vector file, even though you used .ai artwork to create this pattern.

I have exactly the same issue. Did you find out how to fix it? ☺️
@@krasimav nope, I don't know how to fix it. I guess it's a bug in Inkscape 1.0
2019 and this video is still so very useful. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah didn work for me too..

Thanks a lot, very useful tutorial

Uff i wish i should have watched this a day b4 ! For the past 3 days i was pulling my hair for this one!!!!!
Thank you so much for this.
thanks, what a great video! you saved me a lot of time...
Glad I could help! Have fun :)

Help! Trying to put in the corners but when I press control plus d and the right arrow key it doesn’t move?
You'll need to do control + D, and then use the arrow key. Pressing all three at the same time might be the problem.
Thank you so much for such a clearly explained tutorial. I learnt so much.

I keep getting a white line between my repeats. Do you have any idea why??
In my experience that is a rendering problem meaning it's just an error with the way the computer/software displays the repeated pattern and shouldn't show up in the finished pattern.
Great but how to get rid of white gap lines around squares when i nudge them????
It might just be a rendering issue in Inkscape...I notice them too but when I export the pattern they aren't visible. Hope that helps.

Moe Howard thank you for your help
I can't do it like you Don't know why Both I followed the steps you suggested.
yeah, same.. mind you this was uploaded in 2016 so things may have changed?
This is an Awsome video. I'm having a tad problem tho, When it comes to saving and exporting once I do all of that and I go to put it into my silhouette studio it wont work and the image save is in text format. I'm using a Mac btw I don't know if that changes anything !! Any advice ?

Thanks for the help. I realize it's not saving as a png file and I'm not sure why but i will work on trying to fix that over the weekend !!

Thank you.
Does this still work in 2019? I tried it today and it didn't work the same for me :(
It works with slight change.i cut design in exact halves using a step from logos nick video and it worked perfect.
can i use jpeg file
Using a jpeg file won't have a transparent background and you'll want to either use a PNG file or svg/vector file to make patterns.
MOE: I HAVE A APPLE MAC AND IT WONT LET ME DOWNLOAD INKSCAPE
OH no! Have to tried to download the Mac version? I would do a quick google search 'trouble shooting inkscape download for mac' or something along those lines to see if there might be an article to help you out. I hope you find a way around it!

Why are you yelling?
Thank you so much for this video! Great tut.
