Question
How to create toile pattern

Answer
Hi Raji.

I would look for a toile that you like and bring it into Illustrator and use the Live Trace tool to trace it.

Here's a nice one:

Toiles are generally complex illustrations printed in one color, so I would stick to a monochromatic palette when you trace.

Also, please remember that some fabrics are copyrighted and you cannot reproduce a licensed fabric without permission.

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

Experience

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
