Too funny. I needed a quick refresher on offset and I was happy to see you use your dog’s name. My dog is Jäger but would sometimes get called Jagger by strangers. He’s such a good boy and yours is probably too.

hey i love the tutorial however, i want to make keychain offsets of an image which is image traced, because if we offset it directly the small pixels made by the image trace options shatter and makes a mess. so is there any way i can make outlines for that it would be helpfull

Hello there, I'm learning clothing pattern design & I need to create the seam allowance but when I do the offset path, I get a the path outside & inside the pattern, do you know how can I get only the outside one? I've been looking around but I'm not that good at Illustrator yet, thanks.
