   Hi Sybille, I’m afraid Illustrator 9 doesn’t work as it doesn’t support symbol sprayer.

   What a pity! But thanks for the quick answer, give me a shout when you write one day a “seamless tutorial” for AI9. SY

   I want to make seamless patterns with complex swirls and flowers (I have something like what I want to make as the background to my website now). I have downloaded and purchased many.. but want to make something similar to what I use as my background (swirls and dashes on a large scale that). Will this tutorial help me create something like that?

    Hi Lolly, this tutorial will teach you how to make the 4 edges tile with your pattern. But for your pattern, you will still need to know how to use illustrator to draw the swirls and dashes. For such a complicated pattern, I will work on the edges and use my tiling technique to make sure they tile before working to the center of the tile.
