Has anyone ever tried to patch drywall with a spray/knockdown finish? I did a patch and can match the texture but the edges seem to show up with texture over texture.. Any good tips?

I'm not sure if this is the problem you are experiencing.
If the patch edge (feathered out repair edge) is "showing through". Wipe down the perimeter of the feathering with a damp rag. Scrub/wash down the edge to blend in the buildup with the prior texture.
then do your new knockdown application.
