Help with pattern pimples

[dehrlich]

See the attached pattern and notice the "pimples" at the lower right. What causes this and how do I get rid of it? I'm guessing it's noise from the original graphic used for the pattern. I tried outlining them and making it a 0 depth carve region but that messes up the feather. Any help? Perhaps someone has a cleaner football pattern they would share? Thanks.

I can't pull your pattern gui tells me it's not working make a square or rectagle around it and make a 0.0 carve region.

If the feather is in the way try doing a no feather 0.0 carve region and put the feather back in.. just thinking

What do you think of this? I made a "mask" and a fake feather with sweep. It is not perfect. There are still some small specks.

Dan explain to me what the mask is again, I totally forgot!

Make a 0.00 carve region to cover up everything. Then make a "hole" by making a carve region which has the same shape and depth as the pattern. Group the 0.00 cover and hole. Assign Clip Exclusive to the cover so the hole shows through. Here is a simple example of a square mask with a round hole:
