I second Elaine’s suggestion to keep the scale large – but it’s important you’re not stretching a small sample. You’ll see it. I love the free textures here:

For tile, if your tile has a large amount of variation – make a large sample so the repeat is less obvious. You’ll always see it, but if it’s a decent sized sample with no “main character” tiles – you won’t see it as much. If you’re going to have a tile that half on one side of the sample and the other half is on the other side of the sample, have it be the SAME tile – so it blends seamlessly.
I make my samples in MS Paint (yes!) so it’s more than possible!
