Thank you for this! Very helpful! I have a tricky question for you! First, short background - I create and export vectors for use in Cricut which does not accept pattern fills. With that said - I want to overlay the plaid on a shape and crop (that's my solution to the pattern fill issue, works well usually) but because this is all on top of each other, when I crop its just taking the top layer colors. Any chance you know of another work around?
