Sorry if this is a newb question. In Illustrator CC v17.0.2, I'm trying to do a simple Appearance on a Fill using a default diamond pattern from Adobe pattern swatches. But the texture seems to overlap always Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Notice in the diamond swatch that is selected and in the orange background there are 6 verticle "lines" where the diamond pattern seems to be overlapping in this screenshot:

Basic steps:
1. Create a blank doc
2. Create a rectangle and fill with orange gradient and remove stroke.
3. On the Appearance for the rectangle in step 2 apply Fill with an Adobe pattern swatch "Basic Graphics_Textures" selecting the Diamond pattern.
4. Notice the overlap of the diamonds.
I just want it to be smooth diamonds. There must be something I'm doing wrong. This can't possibly be the default is to overlap. Frustrated.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Max
