I made a really pretty floral pattern in PSE that I'd like to save as a pattern. I've always had trouble doing this because when I save things as a pattern they don't line up. Is there a really easy tutorial that can help me with this? I'm not even sure if this can be made to repeat since it's asymmetrical...
Thanks!!
I struggle a bit with that myself. I have a tutorial here that might help. Also, Photoshop has an "offset" filter which can be helpful, although I often find it a bit of a pain....hopefully someone can give us some advice!
There is a tutorial here for PE and repeating patterns.

Thank you for the link, I am going to try this
If you can get access to it I would recommend creating a repeatable pattern in Adobe Illustrator. Not only can you create it so that it is perfectly lined up, but it will also be seamless, and most importantly it will be created as a vector which you can easily open in Photoshop and you can scale it as small or large as you would like and always maintain crisp and sharp edges.
