Step by step
  1. Make one good piece

    A shape, a cut-out, a drawn mark · one strong motif on its own layer is all a pattern needs.

  2. Repeat it

    Add the Pattern effect. Columns set the scale and symmetry sets the law · grid, brick, mirror, glide or pinwheel. A little jitter loosens the hand.

  3. Retune forever

    Pattern lives in the effect stack · click its step any time to change the symmetry, or bake it and cut into the yardage itself.
