Description
The word "using" is lemmatized incorrectly:
import pattern.en
print("using", pattern.en.lemma("using"))
print("use", pattern.en.lemma("use"))
The result is:
using used
use use
For comparison, both amusing and amuse return the same lemma amuse.
This issue, in turn, breaks conjugation, so that conjugate("using", "1sg") returns used.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported results with pattern.en.lemma("using") and conjugate("using", "1sg"), then compare them with the expected lemma "use" and the behavior of "amusing" and "amuse". Done means "using" is lemmatized as "use" and conjugation no longer returns "used".
