Glitschka offset “Diadem” using the Hex by Row tile type, which naturally fits this
design with little manipulation, but you can also use Brick by Row with a Brick Offset
of 1/2 to tuck the repeats close together. Brick Offset controls the position of each
repeat relative to the others. When the Pattern Tile tool is active, you can adjust the
Brick Offset in fixed intervals by dragging the diamond widget on the Tile Edge to the
right or left.
With either Hex by Row or Brick by Row as your Tile Type, grab a square anchor on a
corner or side, and drag inwards to bring the artwork closer together. Hold the
Option/Alt key to resize two sides symmetrically, and add the Shift key to resize the
entire tile proportionally. When you see something you like, click Save a Copy and
remain in PEM, or click Done to save the swatch and exit PEM.
Resizing the Tile Edge by dragging on corner anchors, and drag-
ging on the diamond widget to change the
pattern repeat offset at fixed intervals from
1/4 up to 4/5 the distance of a full repeat
