White Lines in Illustrator Patterns? Fix Them + Free Checklist
Even perfectly aligned patterns can show lines in Illustrator. In this video, I walk through the 3 most common causes and how to fix each one:
• Anti-aliasing bug
• Transparency overlap
• Decimal pixel dimensions
I also put together a one-page checklist you can download and keep nearby while you work. Download it from the link below the video. Enjoy!

My latest video for Astute Graphics shows you a one-click way to group your artwork by setting a distance tolerance. Objects that are close together or share the same color, stroke, and fill can be grouped easily.

Here are the results of my YouTube poll, combined with my newsletter poll. I'm glad some people are enjoying last year's splashy new feature, "Objects on Path," but many respondents seem to have forgotten it was there... What do you think?

👉 Do you use Illustrator’s Objects on Path feature (introduced in 2024)? ✉️ (BTW: I asked my newsletter subscribers about Objects on Path — 53% forgot it even exists! Curious to see how YouTube compares 👇)

Check out my latest Artboards video! ✅ One thing you need to know: I recorded this in 29.7, and Adobe just released an update (29.8.1) that removed the darkened artboard outline update (users complained!). I happen to love it, so I'm glad to hear that Adobe is working on giving it an on/off setting - stay tuned.
