The first pattern for this exercise is the one that you have just aligned. The second pattern can be taken from the file Baskets.ai. You will add the "baskets" from the second file to the "handles" in the first one (peek at the last image in this tutorial to have the target in mind). To position the second pattern precisely, you will need to add a supporting point that is not in the pattern yet.
1 Start from the last pattern in the preceding section or open the file Handles1.ai. Apply a stroke color and some small stroke weight to the control path to make it visible.
2 Now you will add two supplementary lines whose intersection defines the necessary supporting point. Make sure that Smart Guides are turned on. Select the pen tool in the toolbox. Click the bottom anchor of the control path, hold down the Shift key, and click somewhere in the upper-right corner of the screen (outside the pattern) to draw a 45° diagonal line. Then draw a -45° diagonal line starting from the top-right anchor of the control path and ending somewhere outside the pattern in the lower-right corner of the screen. The intersection of the two diagonal lines defines the additional supporting point that you will use later in step 6.
