How to Use the Measure Tool in Illustrator

Have you all been enjoying the Adobe Illustrator tutorials? I’m loving your comments on the blog and Instagram, so please, keep them coming!

Next up is a quick tutorial on using the measure tool in Illustrator. With just a few clicks, you can quickly measure between objects, between line segments, whatever. This is really helpful in pattern design for obvious reasons - you can measure the length of a hemline, the width of a pattern piece, etc.

In addition to the measure tool, I show you another trick I utilize to make patternmaking easy. So, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy!
